Thanks guys ~ Let me know if you have any comments / suggestions / requests ( apart from voice-overs .. I tried but I'm just no good at it ).

@jph - The BGM in "Designer Layout" is from Wave Race 64 actually, but you're right on Evangelion

Edit - Fixes

Thanks for these, very informative, and well done. I learned a bunch,. More please!

Yeah, great work Kjell! These are excellent additions to the ZGE documentation. I'll copy the list to the wiki for easy reference.

Hi guys,

Uploaded a livestream recording on how to set up a basic 3D particle system. Not exactly a video tutorial ( + bad resolution & framerate ), but perhaps somebody finds it useful.

*Ideas / topics for a second round of video tutorials are still welcome

Hi Kjell,

You know I'm a big fan of your tutorials, especially the ones on youTube. However, this medium might be less satisfactory. There is no way to slow down / back up / etc. on the live stream. Couple that with the poor resolution, and it was pretty well unusable. So I downloaded it, which I could play thru QuikTime, so it could be stopped / started etc., which made it usable, although no clearer.

I expect there is a valid reason why you have changed mediums, so let me suggest another to you.

This is free, as much as is needed for our purposes. Of course, it produces gigantic .wmv 's , but if you compress them with .7z , they're down to about 5% of original size.

Lights! Camera! ...

I thought it was good even though the low resolution. The end result with the particle blob looks very nice

Hi guys,

@y_offs_et - Don't worry, video tutorials will stay in HD ( 1280x720 ) .. this was just somebody asking about particles in 3D, and me demonstrating that doing your own particles ( since RenderParticles is primarily for 2D ) is pretty straight-forward.

@VilleK - Thanks

Thanks Kjell, as always I learn some cool tricks watching you work,. Perhaps including the .proj file with the tutorials would make these even more helpfull,. . cheers.

Any requests? Planning on recording some more this weekend.

@jph - Bit of a delayed response, but I never actually saved the .zgeproj files after recording. Shouldn't take that much time for somebody watching a tutorial to re-create what is show though, since they all start from a empty file.

kjell i'd love to see some of your advanced ogl tricks in zge, and maybe some shader stuff.

is there anywhere i can still get the skybox tutorial?

Sorry for reviving this very old thread, but I'm also curious if this Skybox-tutorial can still be found somewhere?
