Title: What is this called?
Post by: Roose Bolton of the Dreadfort on February 18, 2013, 04:56:12 pm

So I am making a particle engine for my game.. all is going fine.

I was looking at some video's for ideas and saw this one

Notice how the particles have a 'glow' about them.. what is this called in OpenGL? Is it possible with SFML or will I have to start doing raw OpenGL code?

Thanks !

Oh.. I believe he may have just used a texture.....

who would have known such elegance and beauty could be created through a simple sprite... amazing... ha
