Method Detail

initParticleData

public abstract void initParticleData(ParticleEmitter emitter,
                                      int numParticles)

Initialize mesh data.

Parameters:

emitter - The emitter which will use this ParticleMesh.

numParticles - The maximum number of particles to simulate

setImagesXY

public abstract void setImagesXY(int imagesX,
                                 int imagesY)

Set the images on the X and Y coordinates

Parameters:

imagesX - Images on the X coordinate

imagesY - Images on the Y coordinate

updateParticleData

public abstract void updateParticleData(Particle[] particles,
                                        Camera cam,
                                        Matrix3f inverseRotation)

Update the particle visual data. Typically called every frame.

Parameters:

particles - the particles to update

cam - the camera to use for billboarding

inverseRotation - the inverse rotation matrix
