Key Features

• Node based particle engine and editor
• Import (and batch import) from libgdx legacy files
• Beam Renderer
• Visual manipulation of shapes, sizes and positions
• Custom pre-compiled java scriptwriting for value manipulation
• Custom widget flavours allowing for same widget to look differently if it's just number or if number is angle

List of modules (nodes)

• Particle module - main output hub for particle related properties (per particle)
• Emitter module - main output hub for emitter related properties such as delay, emissions and such
• System Input - list of inner system values that can be exposed and used by other modules (particle life, emitter life, time)
• Global Values - dynamic list of values that can be assigned runtime, and used by modules
• Mixer - Mixes values A & B with provided alpha ratio
• Shape Range - outputs random position values On or Within provided shape (supports shape customisation, and morphing)
• Number - Static number output
• Position - Static position (x and y) output
• Color - Static color (r,g,b) output
• Gradient - Interpolates between given list of color values
• Beam Renderer - renders custom mesh that can be mutated by Bezier tangents and with provided Noise offset. Per inner point.
• Sprite Renderer - renders simple one texture (region) sprite
• Flipbook - renders animated output based on provided sprite sheet
• Random Range - generates random value in given range
• Dynamic Random Range - interpolates between 2 number ranges using provided curve
• Noise - outputs simplex noise, with modifiable frequency
• Multi Input - has dynamic amount of inputs, chooses one randomly and set's it to output
• Curve - Allows for user made curve with provided points, outputs single value
• Interpolation - Same as Curve but instead of custom points it is procedural meaning it's a formula
• Math Operations - Add, subtract, multiply, divide, sin, cos functions to be used with A and B values
• Beam Position - Converts From and To position values into Rotation, Position & Size values that are used by Beam Renderer
• Emitter Config - Wraps emitter configuration checkboxes into one UI.
• Script (Java) - Modules with 5 inputs and 5 outputs that can take a Java code as string to act open this values.
