DirectX vs. OpenGL Particles

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Tue Apr 06, 2004 1:51 pm

I downloaded the particle editor from: http://www.dev.your3dgames.com/

I created a cool random particle effect, then grabbed the code and pasted it into my own project. It looked really different to how it looked in the editor.
I could tell that it was the same settings, it just looked different - less globulised and cool

i though maybe this was a difference between ogl and dx, so i tried recompiling with dx. But the engine crashes and gives me this error:

DirectX Driver was not compiled into this DLL, Try OpenGL
Error: could not load built in font

What am i doing wrong?[/list]

look in FAQ and How-To forum and find the thread that tells how to get DirectX in Dev-cpp

The particle systems in Directx have always looked fuzzyer, darker, and less realistic to me.
