Hey folks,

I am sure I have seen this mentioned somewhere - can I have an emitter have it's particles flow along a specific path/spline?

Thanks
Adam :)

BTW, if you have R9 it comes with a "TP Follow Spline" in the object library.

Ah! - many thanks!

While I was trying to work it out, I found another method which gave me more accurately what I wanted - I needed a column of bubbles to flow in a curve and have a fairly specific shape, so I created a sweep nurb object to use as a funnel, and used fizz for collision to constrain the bubbles to the funnel mesh!

Thanks for the info anyway. :)
