Plasma Effects on the ATI Rage128
with Direct3D
|
|
|
The R128Plasma sample shows the use of multi-texturing to do plasma effects that used to be done with palette-cycling when 8-bit displays were common. The advantage here is that the Rage 128 is optimized for higher color depths, and better results are available by using this method. Figure 1 shows R128Plasma in action.

R128Plasma basically works by adding the components of four textures on a polygon, whose texture coordinates are moved in four different directions. You may be able to create your own cool plasmas by choosing four of your own textures and moving them in a different way.
