Particles

[Ian Jones]

What version are you using?

What do you want your trail to look like? and how do you want it to move?

and... what on earth does that attachment have to do with anything? It's small and has a logo, but I have no idea what it has to do with particles and ping pong.

I am using Max 6.0. The particles will be the trail following the pingballs as they fly about. I am not sure what i want them to look like..magical i guess. let me know what you can come up with

Oh that icon..yeh nothing to do with pingball..eheh just ignore it

Thanks again :thumbsup:

Very, very simple to do. Have you read the in-built particle flow tutorials? also head over to the resources section and take a look at the particle flow discussion.

All you really need is a standard flow, delete the speed, rotation, and position icon. Drag a position object into the flow and select your ping pong ball in the parameters. It's pretty self explanatory really.
