Detailed Description

One-shot disintegration effect spawned from a character's skinned mesh at the moment of death.

The caller samples the dead character's posed mesh into world-space points (see Game's death-capture pass) and hands them to spawn. Each point becomes a particle that holds at its mesh position for a short, position- dependent delay (producing a sweeping dissolve wave), then peels off along a wind direction, drifts, and fades. Particles are alpha-blended camera-facing billboards rendered through the shared particle-billboard shaders.

data()

const BillboardParticle * DeathDissolveEffect::data ( ) const

inlinenodiscard

Live particle data for upload (rebuilt each update).

spawn()

void DeathDissolveEffect::spawn	(	const std::vector< glm::vec3 > &	worldPoints,
		glm::vec3	center,
		glm::vec4	baseColor )

Spawn a dissolve from posed mesh points.

Parameters

worldPoints	World-space positions sampled from the death pose.
center	Body center (world) — drives the radial/sweep basis.
baseColor	Particle tint (mesh has no texture; ~light grey).

update()

void DeathDissolveEffect::update

(

float

dt

)

Advance the simulation and rebuild the GPU billboard array.
