Next, untextured particles, but creating an interesting trail.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYdSG9Z2alI

What it's doing right now is rendering, I believe no more than 1000 particles, usually quite a few less, as point sprites. This means that it's very limited in what they can do (no change in size based on age for example, no rotations,...) but they're fast. I haven't got any empirical evidence, but I think, even with my rudimentary update, any bottleneck will be that, rather than the rendering. They also have "gravity". Unfortunately, Maratis doesn't currently expose the gravity, something I'll probably change, so it's a hard coded number, but that makes very little difference. The particles have a random spread, up to a value defined in the editor, so can make circular explosions (as in the untextured video) or a more targetted spray.

What is still to be done:

• A lot.

• Different blend types (Additive being the most important)

• Exposed particle sizes to the editor.

• Non-Point sprite particles:

• Particle growth/decay

• Rotation

• Physics:

• Using Maratis scene gravity

• Sphere collision with particles

• Sphere collision with (some) world objects

• AABB collision with world objects

Other ideas:

• Attractors?

Please help me, the only thing in the command console it says:
Founc bundled pyton: <PLACE WHERE BLENDER IS>
   bpy.utils.addon_enable io_import_scene_unreal_psk

Nothing in the user properties > addon > import export

i just wanted to recommend you add a category for Spanish users since i talk spanish and it´s difficult to help and learn in other languages...

¿Can this please be added?

thanks for reading

I have started an "audition" over at voiceacting.co.uk (I hope noone minds the cross post) and asked people to submit samples of their work, and how much they thing they would like to be paid, if they got a role.

I posted, basically on a whim last night, after failing to get any decent rates from websites and have already had several emails back. I just thought, as this is the community I spend most of my time in online, it would be polite to make everyone here aware of this. Maybe you think you have a voice that might suit one of the characters, or maybe you know someone who might want to do it. Anyway, the link is here again. If you would like any more information, just give me a shout

EDIT EDIT EDIT: I am using the downloaded SVN from sourceforge.net

I get these errors trying:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms\Win32\Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.Targets(511,5): error MSB8008: Specified platform toolset (v110) is not installed or invalid. Please make sure that a supported PlatformToolset value is selected.
I get that &:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.CppBuild.targets(990,5): warning MSB8012: TargetPath(C:\Users\Documents\Maratis3d\maratis-read-only\trunk\dev\Projects\VisualStudio2010\Release\MaratisPlayer.exe) does not match the Linker's OutputFile property value (C:\Users\Documents\Maratis3d\maratis-read-only\trunk\dev\Projects\VisualStudio2010\build\MaratisPlayer.exe). This may cause your project to build incorrectly. To correct this, please make sure that $(OutDir), $(TargetName) and $(TargetExt) property values match the value specified in %(Link.OutputFile).

Thanks anyone

I decided it was time to give a face on IRC to Maratis, this wonderful and elgant engine.

Please join us on ( as we grow) at:

I search a way in c++ to change the material of an entity without change those of the others entities using the same mesh (clones) ?
Same thing for the bones animation, how play an animation of an entity and play an other animation of an entity using the same mesh at the same time ?

Here's an image:

It should look like a normal Minecraft block. I made it in wings3d and imported it to blender. Maybe that's the problem?

There appear to be 2 problems with whatever VC2010 does. The first thing is, the post build step for the project Maratis seems to be failing. I assume this would be that one of the steps is failing, possibly due to the file already being there and prompting to overwrite. I haven't really looked into this properly, I copied the files manually and removed the post build step.

The second thing is that VC2010 defaults to using $(TARGET) for debugging whatever you've compiled, whereas the linker saves to build\$(ProjectName)Debug.exe. I assume in previous versions $(TARGET) got updated to whatever the linker spits out. I have tried changing the Output Directory and Target Name options, which gets the debugger to start running the executable, but the actual executable doesn't seem to have been built properly.

Annoyingly, Visual Studio also doesn't seem to save the Debugger properties which is frustrating.
EDITI've been arguing with getting Maratis to build with Visual Studio/C++ 2010. On my work PC (during lunch, of course) it will build using scons VC's 'cl'. At home I only have Visual C++ 2010 Express which doesn't seem to like running cl from the command line.

EDIT: If I can get VC2010 to build and debug nicely, I will share my solution. At the moment, most of the changes have to be done every time

When I try ogg on Linux, Maratis-3.02cBeta-Linux_x86-32 plays the ogg only when "loop" is checked. Is the need to check "loop" intended or a bug?

Well, the thing is that Maratis is not playing ogg on Mac OSX, how could I solve this?

Thanks, keep doing awesome.
