how can i generate 2d object with particles ?

[skinkairewalker]

hello everyone !

i am studying PB 2D engine ( Game ), and an intriguing question arose, can I do something similar to this in PB with the 2d support library?

The project in question was done on the 2D engine called Unity Engine https://xform.artstation.com/projects/gJZbOP and consists of "generating" sidereal stars automatically...

Does anyone have a similar example or have any idea how to do it in PB?

It would be just sprites and or pixels that get blended together in this case with additive blending.
Draw the sun and the surface layers (animate them) then create particles (sprites) for the burts and blend everything together.
If you want an object to facilitate all of that check out one of the oop threads.

Here is a super simple sun rendered with just 3 sprites:


If these sprites are rotated against each other the sun surface looks already pretty nice and alive.
The more work is put into the animation and sprites the more realistic the sun will look.
But even with just 3 sprites it looks already fairly good, so it all depends on what look you want to achive.

Have fun

can u send me this example ? xD

How i did it.

Hope this helps even thought i used my own gfx lib.
This ofc. can also be easily done with the PB 2d lib.

And much more depends on the amount of time that is available for the implementation of the idea. For example, I am enraged by games with poor graphics in 2021. Of course, this does not apply to projects of people who are just learning programming. I'm talking about talentless products that cool companies make for one-time earnings.

I think PB 2D can't achive that. The glow is achived by emissive color. Don't think PB's 2D engine supports that. You would need to use the 3D part of PB (Ogre engine). While unity supports 2D, it is not a 2D engine and often cool effects are achived by doing 3D but using planar projection.
