"just doing this, this, this, that" - wait, wait, wait, what? Thankfully youtube has frame-by-frame view

[@netherlabgames7511]

Straight out of 2005 xD

[@aomimezura11]

I gotta say, I REALLY appreciate you getting straight to the point.

[@michaelthelen5297]

Great video! Fire is such a common / needed effect in a lot of games. Great to have a tutorial on how to accomplish it.

[@thebyteman393]

This was pretty interesting to watch. Keep up the good work!

[@pixelman5957]

Often the most common effects are most needed in the same time. Great work ☺.

[@braindeadbzh]

Best explanation of the Godot particle system

[@Carkoon]

I HAVE MADE FIRE!
Really nice quick tutorial. Just what I was looking for (those 50 part tutorials on how to programm your own game engine in binary really don't get my motivation up).
Convinced me to finally purchase a course of yours.

[@DevJorvan]

Nice tutorial, mate. Thanks for sharing 🤝

[@koemdjiev]

Great video, man! Keep them coming :p

[@biigsmokee]

I had never really understood how flames were created in video games but this captures it perfectly. Thank you

[@Crisisdarkness]

I always love your videos, I still don't enter the 3d world in Godot, but I will keep in mind your videos about 3D, I really like particle systems and they are an important part for the creation of a game, thank you friend. I would like to see at some point, how to make a particle effect when firing a high caliber cannon

[@gingerageousgames613]

Love your videos.

[@eduardosanchezbarrios5810]

Thanks dude for this video this was really useful xD!

[@charon71]

Very good helped me so much thx

[@darkexior]

You are the best!

[@da_cat]

awesome

[@playingaroundwithprograming]

please make a rain, snow, wind effect tutorial

[@HardCodes_]

Thanks

[@ranveerdev4514]

Can you please make tutorial on how to make those textutes.

[@alexshel8578]

thank you sir)

[@floorbeardthepirate1141]

I have a 3d particles node emitting cubes, but the cubes aren't changing the color of my assigned gradient. Anybody know why?

[@aztecasensei6124]

nice! thx

[@hingedevoper69]

wait till unity developers find out about this particle system

[@Nlbproject]

Great video, thank you for detailed explanation!

[@MethanicBlast]

your voice does not add anything to the tutorial. amazing

[@fortes_og]

Пасибо, спустя 5 лет даже актуально)

[@khiemgluong]

Bookmarked.

[@pogopogomanger]

Vielen Danke!

[@Spacecookie-]

So can we use fire like this as part of a monster? So for example, if someone wanted to have a ghost rider 3D figure and wanted a flaming skull head... can we use this method to make something like that work? How about a complete aninated figure who's like the human torch from the fantastic 4?

[@Miziziziz]

for sure, just put the particle node as a child of of a BoneAttachment as shown here: ruclips.net/video/A2JMYQBWeig/видео.html

[@oldgods6039]

Got a bit of a problem right from the start. Can't seem to get the particles to fall down in any way that is not STRAIGHT DOWN. Almost like a faucet. Can't get them to behave in the way the particles do at the beginning. Any solutions you can offer?

[@chaitmanta]

Have you tried rotating the node?

[@BenColemanUK]

Following *exactly* and the results come out different. I think Godot defaults have changed since this was created :(
Soon as you set the scale to 3, the particles disappear

[@ashleyteece4237]

I'm on 3.3.3 and did not encounter this issue. The only difference for me was that i had to set an initail velocity as it was 0 by default.

[@DaleIsWigging]

@@ashleyteece4237 I've found on 3.3.3 the time variable is no longer part of the process material so it cannot be made unique if we duplicate the flame node.
So changing it changes both flames and smoke lifetime.

unity's particle system

[@kaczok61]

Hello. Great video :) I have one question. Do you know tutorial where somebody shows how to create textures for particles ? I rly want create particles in 100 % on my own :)

[@Miziziziz]

Not off the top of my head. I'd recommend searching around RUclips for Gimp or Photoshop tutorials on the subject

[@Aethrian]

To my knowledge particle textures are just grayscale images where black represents transparency, so use any photo editing/art software and draw away to your hearts content. Airbrush will be your friend if you want glowy, smoky, or hazy particles

[@hingedevoper69]

@@Aethrian i reckon you could actually made a decent smoke effect using ms paint

[@jacrich699]

Sadly broken in Godot 4. But can anyone tell me why nothing I do lets me change the scale?

[@j.d.waterhouse4197]

I'm not having a great time in Godot 4 also, you're not alone

[@DeliciousBreakfast]

Late reply now, but you want to check the "Keep scale" option when you're setting the billboard option to "particle billboard"

[@radthadd]

400th like. Niciciccccee

[@fire7side]

You ran over the setup so fast I couldn't follow it even trying to pause.

[@starkerrobert]

You was too fast!!!

[@susanahewitt8789]

Thanks very much. But you should go a little slower! ; )

[@kevinwoalter]

Yeah, best particle speed-run :D

[@seankayll9017]

Pause? I would rather pause a fast to-the-point video than try to skip through unneccesary waffle.
