Particle FX preview

Wacov

28 FPS is fine... keep 'em coming guys!

JaViXP

Here is mine.

["Time", 7.551, "Frames", 72, "Fps", 9.53516090584029]

But... Why only 9.5!?

phy

Maybe it's vista, what's the specs on your computer Javi?

JaViXP

I don't think it is Vista (Wacov uses Vista as well). Anyway, here we go:
Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5300 @ 2.6 GHz
2GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4850

Yeah but Wacov has a gaming computer. But then with the specs you have it shouldn't be slowing down that much cause I only have 512 MB ram.

JaViXP

Mine is a gaming computer too, (I can run TS3, max quality, no lag). It is 5.2 / 5.9 in Vista's Perfomance Test. It might be SketchUp.

phy

I see, I guess I was just going by how much ram you had.

Roguer1

Great showcase Wacov!

I am running:
1.86GHz Intel
2GB Ram
358MB Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset

I get anywhere from 20 - 30FPS with no problem

phy

I'm running
1.8 ghz. AMD
512 MB. ram
212(something like that)MB NVIDIA

But I have XP so it runs fast.
it might be sketchup or another plugin.

Im running vista on a laptop with: 2ghz single core pentium celeron, 3gb RAM, 358MB Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset. overall windows experience=3.1 on graphics. gaming graphics 3.3, processor 4.2, RAM 4.5, hard disk 5.2

Wacov

Uhh, I need the FPS

Anyway, from the looks of it, only Jav is having a problem (sorry mate). The particle system should work fine for most users!

JaViXP

It is just wierd, I can run any SP model at more than 50 FPS and I run this one at less than 10 Frames Per Second. Also, the first time I play it, it is about 10 FPS, the seconds it is 5 FPS, then it is 2 FPS... It is slower

Open up the ruby console and see if it is printing any errors.

Can't post my fps! All I get is a constantly-generating "Webdialog is still dirty!"...

This error is caused by changing something in the UI and exiting before clicking (anywhere on the screen). Click somewhere and then X out.
Download and try again.

It says something of 'warning'. I have just made a video of it.
Also, I get this (first time):

Nothing unusual there, I'm getting the same stuff.

JaViXP

What about this?

(eval);6; warning; already initialized constant ParticleStruct

I get that too. I don't know what could be wrong.

Wacov

ParticleStruct is the way I could attach variables to the particles. I guess it's not being removed between simulations, so when it's re-initialized in onstart, the sim throws up an error; it shouldn't affect the model.
