how the performance

[ashen burrow]

Like the script performance tab? doesnt that depend on my laptop?

[finite patio]

I meant like when having a ton

[ashen burrow]

Showing how it'd look when used normally now

what are the benefits over default roblox particles

oh wait nvm

i see, it's 3d

very nice!

great work

[sweet wagon]

I made 3D particles a while ago and it caused a lot of performance issues, did you do pooling for optimization?

[fervent sapphire]

how does it work

does it like use the particle instance?

[sweet wagon]

No, it generates parts I am supposing using Instance.new()

[fervent sapphire]

I mean as properties

[sweet wagon]

You mean how do the properties change?

[fervent sapphire]

Do you use the properties of particle emitter

[sweet wagon]

Oh, no I think particle emitter probably has nothing to do with it.

[ashen burrow]

Im using configuration as a folder where i store values for now. That way you can copy an emitter and place it wherever. the particles are just a part/mesh named "particle" which is child to the emitter

This was more like a concept. I have one emitter handler which configures each particle as its made, for each emitter. Theyre not supposed to be a replacement for particle emitters, more a different option for different usecases.

After having a think i started of reworking it even more some time. Making the server generate a particle configuration template, and sending that to each client.
The client then just needs to update the particles each frame.
Will see about using attributes instead of values

Updating the system to pause all particles not on the screen of the client will surely improve performance too

[ashen burrow]

Particles are already is a child part of the emitter part. These are cloned with clone() then parented to a particles folder
No performance issues so far imo, perhaps i just used more effective algos? or i dont have a good enough pc to show wether it drops performance or not

Will look into what pooling is then ill get back to you

Does not use pooling. Will definitely add that!

so much cool stuff to learn

[fervent sapphire]

You could just the particle instance as a way to store the values

Afterall they are just particles but 3D

[ashen burrow]

please send more info. i cant see a single particle instance anywhere in the docs

[fervent sapphire]

Instance.new("ParticleEmitter")

[ashen burrow]

oh you meant particle emitter instance

yeah it has properties i dont need, methods i dont need

id rather save on the info for now tbh

revolutionary

[round hawk]

this is actually incredible

[sweet wagon]

That's crazy, when u were mentioning up above about particle emitters, I thought this is exactly what u meant

[ashen burrow]

Hey thanks for this btw. Does this look like proper pooling u think? https://streamable.com/rqq7od

[sweet wagon]

Hard for me to say, I've never personally made it. I just know what it's for but never found a need for it.

[ashen burrow]

well atleast no particles are being destroyed now

[sweet wagon]

Also, I just realized that 3D particle system will be much slower than 2D because it has to render the lighting and has to also do the physics, and each object is also existing in the workspace.
