title: 3D game special effects, fire, lightning, water, and ice
body: <p>I'm working on a 3d game using OpenGL and would like to take it in a fantasy direction.  Specifically I'm thinking of having magic with effects for fire, water, ice, and lightning.  My problem is I have no idea how to create these effects.  Are there any resources for me on how to learn something like this?  </p>
