Talos VFX Legacy

Talos VFX Legacy is a fork of latest open source Talos V1. Official development went far beyond the VFX concept, becoming difficult to integrate in already complex scenarios. This Legacy development is made to keep Talos a pure VFX toolkit and nothing else for 2D games.

Node based, open source VFX Editor with powerfull interface and a ready to use libGDX runtime.

Key Features

• Node based particle engine and editor
• Import (and batch import) from libgdx legacy files
• Beam Renderer
• Visual manipulation of shapes, sizes and positions
• Custom pre-compiled java scriptwriting for value manipulation
• Custom widget flaours allowing for same widget to look differently if it's just number or if number is angle

List of modules (nodes)

• Particle module - main output hub for particle related properties (per particle)
• Emitter module - main output hub for emitter related properties such as delay, emissions and such
• System Input - list of inner system values that can be exposed and used by other modules (particle life, emitter life, time)
• Global Values - dynamic list of values that can be assigned runtime, and used by modules
• Mixer - Mixes values A & B with provided alpha ratio
• Shape Range - outputs random position values On or Within provided shape (supports shape customisation, and morphing)
• Number - Static number output
• Position - Static position (x and y) output
• Color - Static color (r,g,b) output
• Gradient - Interpolates between given list of color values
• Beam Renderer - renders custom mesh that can be mutated by Bezier tangents and with provided Noise offset. Per inner point.
• Sprite Renderer - renders simple one texture (region) sprite
• Flipbook - renders animated output based on provided sprite sheet
• Random Range - generates random value in given range
• Dynamic Random Range - interpolates between 2 number ranges using provided curve
• Noise - outputs simplex noise, with modifiable frequency
• Multi Input - has dynamic amount of inputs, chooses one randomly and set's it to output
• Curve - Allows for user made curve with provided points, outputs single value
• Interpolation - Same as Curve but instead of custom points it is procedural meaning it's a formula
• Math Operations - Add, substract, multiply, devide, sin, cos functions to be used with A and B values
• Beam Position - Converts From and To positoin values into Rotation, Position & Size values that are used by Beam Renderer
• Emitter Config - Wraps emitter configuration checkboxes into one UI.
