SHIVA particles volunteer

[Zox613]

I am volunteer to do SHIVA particles for geoscape (with POV-Ray), c'est le moins que je puisse faire.
But I don't know what type of file is needed (PNG tiles?, what size?, 32 bit colors?).
Is there a rotate applied to these pics or the same wathever the angle of displaying?

have a look at our particle article in the wiki http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/UFO-Scripts/ptl_*.ufo there you will find links to further information about image formats, dimensions, color space and bit depth and so on

Looks quite complex!...
coz of vertical angle of particles viewed in 3d earth, useless to use pov-ray...
Using particles of flames would be smart, a rotative elispoïd flame particles (passing white > yellow > red trought time/distance) would be a nice bullet effect (inspired by jap animes), needs few coding.
Using pov ray for a flame elipsoïd just feels me asleep.

So-sorry to aborting (but i'll have to look for map edit http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=150.45;topicseen  , when i get back from navy to civilian life, in a month)...
