Abstract
Particle systems ([Reeves83, Sims90, McAllister00]) have been the mainstay of video game effects for the past decade. They have been used to simulate everything from explosions ([Burg2000]) to swarms of insects ([Reynolds87]). As more and more processing power is becoming available on commodity graphics processors, many video game subsystems are now moving over to the GPU. Particle systems have moved with them, but in doing so, have lost some of their functionality in the move.
