i want to finish my hovercraft game for the contest in October with the new blender

idea 1

since the aurora is a plasma particles would work great you can try fluid particles also you can use fields to influence particles

idea 2
you could use ribbons of mesh with transparency enabled and paint them

i just built a wind tunnel Sim with the fluid physics particles it was so cool i hope that you guys keep developing this area also if anyone else has used particles for fluids post interesting things you find hear

no one responded so i guess i posted this in the wrong spot so i am moving it

i cant stand it volumes have so much potential but its essential that they can cast shadows

basically as long as you buy a workstation chuck it full of memory give it a good graphics card a good quad core etc.. you can make huge mesh files no problems like stuff the size you see in movies hypotheticly

after using volumes and reading up on them a bit I learned that they don't seem to cast shadows on each other but volumes have so much potential especially solid volumes as seen in a post on blender nation please fix this

I enjoy using the game engine and am wondering weather there are any plans on improving it

i am closing this thread for 2 reasons 1 64 bit solves the entire problem 2 this idea i suggested could not be implamented because hard drives have too slow a speed

you did help me though by verifying that 64 bit will solve my problems sorry i couldn't i guess i don't know enough about computers i plan to make the switch to 64 bit this summer but i wanted to help people who couldn't afford to

ok i hope i am not breaking the rules by mentioning something i said before but i don't think anyone ever read my request so hear i go ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i have always wanted blender to optimize the way it uses memory for higher ...

not all graphics cards work well with blender it needs a card with good openGL support for a list of good cards see the specs page for windows on the blender website also if you are using an alpha version and this did not help report it as a bug anyone can sign up to be a bug reporter you don't have...

one thing i always notice is that because blender has to hold the entire file in ram while working on it the bigger it gets the slower everything gets perhaps there might be a way to store all mesh information on the hard drive until it was needed at witch time it could be loaded back into ram for e...
