Just thought I would update anyone interested, I have updated my Particle Playground see post: http://www.mikecann.co.uk/?p=392
Also I stumbled accross this very interesting particle on 300k 3D particles in flash using alchemy and pixel bender! http://www.unitzeroone.com/blog/2009/03/18/flash-10-massive-amounts-of-3d-particles-with-alchemy-source-included/ It put a swift end to the thoughts about how clever i was with 40k 2D particles :P 2009/3/18 mike cann <[email protected]> > Sure will, i learnt quite abit about what you can and cant do with shaders > in flash making this.
