Particle Designer 2.0 Issue

Audio and Graphics
#1

I have a problem with a Fade-In effect using Particle Designer 2.0

I uploaded a video to make easy to understand my problem:

As you can see in the right the clouds in particle designer Fade-In, then go down with a little gravity and then dissapear with no fade.

But, as you can see in the left, in Corona, the clouds don’t Fade-in. They just appear, I think this maybe is a problem of the corona interpretation of the JSON file of the particles, but I don’t know.

I’m using the last build --> CoronaSDK 2014.2300

Here you can download the particles JSON and png export if you want to try this by yourself:

Please help me!! I really want these clouds working!!

Hmmm, If I don’t find a solution I should change to Particle Candy again…    :confused:

#3

Did you manually change anything in the JSON, or did you use the standard direct-export method?

I used the standard export method. And then I copy the .json and the .png to the project folder

#5

Are you testing in the latest daily build? Have you updated Particle Designer?

#6

Yes, I’ve checked that, last build, and particle designer updated. Exported again, same error. And I didn’t changed anything manually

#7

Hi,

any updates on this? I want to switch to Particle Designer, but it would be good to know if still there are some issues.

Thanks & best,

I solved the problem modifying manually the json file, but changing some values I don’t remember well, hehe.

My json looks now like this and it works fine:

{ "startColorAlpha" : 0, "startParticleSizeVariance" : 12.89041, "startColorGreen" : 0, "rotatePerSecond" : 360, "radialAcceleration" : 0.1, "yCoordFlipped" : -1, "emitterType" : 0, "blendFuncSource" : 1, "finishColorVarianceAlpha" : 0, "rotationEnd" : 0, "startColorVarianceBlue" : 0, "rotatePerSecondVariance" : 0, "particleLifespan" : 12, "minRadius" : 300, "configName" : "cloudsEquilibrium1", "tangentialAcceleration" : -0, "rotationStart" : 0, "startColorVarianceGreen" : 0, "speed" : 2, "minRadiusVariance" : 0, "finishColorVarianceBlue" : 0, "finishColorBlue" : 1, "finishColorGreen" : 1, "blendFuncDestination" : 771, "finishColorAlpha" : 0.5, "sourcePositionVariancex" : 1181, "startParticleSize" : 512, "sourcePositionVariancey" : 56, "startColorRed" : 0, "finishColorVarianceRed" : 0, "absolutePosition" : false, "textureFileName" : "cloudsEquilibrium1.png", "startColorVarianceAlpha" : 0, "maxParticles" : 90, "finishColorVarianceGreen" : 0, "finishParticleSize" : 512, "duration" : -1, "startColorVarianceRed" : 0, "finishColorRed" : 1, "gravityx" : -10.0, "maxRadiusVariance" : 0, "finishParticleSizeVariance" : 110.58, "gravityy" : 6, "rotationEndVariance" : -34.05, "startColorBlue" : 0, "rotationStartVariance" : 30, "speedVariance" : 14.13, "radialAccelVariance" : 5, "textureImageData" : "", "tangentialAccelVariance" : -0, "particleLifespanVariance" : 0, "angleVariance" : -0, "angle" : -180, "maxRadius" : 0 }

Hi Pablo,

thanks a lot. I’ll give Particle Designer a try now.
