3D Javascript Particle Generator
Particles are awesome and so are particle generators. If you didn't know, a particle emitter is an object which spawns a large group of small objects (particles). It can be used to create a whole bunch of different effects like fire, rain, snow and magic!
Building on to the canvas 3D renderer, I hacked together a small particle emitter as a learning experience.
The demo has a number of controls for adjusting particle generation (size, shape, speed, direction, etc.) Several of the controls also have an additional "noise" control, which allows adding a random amount to that parameter.
There are a bunch of presets as well, that show effects such as a cone of smoke, a flame and even a fruity spiral!
Will be expanded with more controls and particle goodness in the future.
Performance seems best in Opera (specially the beta). Firefox and Safari are ok, but a little sluggish with high particle counts. IE sits this one out, for now at least.

April 16, 2008 at 11:06 PM Jacob SeidelinI'm not sure how free your time is, but looking for someone to do a XYZ (3D) scatter graph in Javascript/Canvas.
Thanks.

amazing
May 7, 2008 at 2:20 AM AnonymousPlease please please can i get a copy of this particle engine. I am dying for one that i can use offline. If you can, e-mail me at ashleystaggs@gmail.com
May 24, 2008 at 1:20 PM AnonymousIs there a 2D version of this?
March 26, 2009 at 11:08 AM Jacob Seidelin@w1sh: No, but I recall seeing another 2d particle experiment somewhere else recently. Maybe if you google around a bit.
