Hey guys. I'm new to TP, and I'm having a hard time figuring out a solution for particles to stick to and travel upwards on a mesh. I did find this tutorial: "TP Move on Surface" here: http://www.bonkers.de/r8/tp/tp.html but the travel is dependent on "gravity".

Can anyone help me to figure out how to instruct particles to be attracted to an animated poly mesh and then follow that surface?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Not sure what the problem is Move on surface does just that.. try puting an emitter below otto and doing a move on surface there the particles will grow up and around otto ( you have to stipulate the otto mesh of course)

You would have to go into the xpresso of the move on surface and change the deflector from fron to back to get the particles to fill otto
