That bloom filter that's floating around is pretty cool. I think there's a better way to do glow effects a'la Tron style. Been researching and gonna have a stab at it. Hopefully I can improve on this. Btw, that's a 3d model made in milkshape with a 256x256 texture slapped on it.

The second example increases the glow effect by attaching a glow sprite to each disc. Take a little bit of this: And add some of this: And you get something like this: Download full source and demo here (click)!

Very nice work Pongo. Those discs are gonna look great in 3rd person. That is definitely the way to go for tank shots and discs.

I thought you were making a light cycles game? Is it a full blown Tron game now? @Pongo, nice effect as usual ;)

Just add a few stars, and Saturn in the background, and you got yourself a winner!
