Hi! I need some images for my 2D Particleengine and my 2D shooter game for all kind of GFX. Blood images (small) Sparks Clouds Explosion smoke Clouds can be made using Perlin noise, but I cannot animate them this way. Blood sound easy to create, but it does not look very good. I also need small iamges for using in my particleengine all kinds of small particles, like small clouds, sparks etc. Is there a special freeware tool for creating clouds or blood? Is there a tool for creating small particle images? Are there free ones to look how they could be done? How do you make your PArticles, Clouds and blood? What special GFX do you add to your game? Thanks a lot, Firle
