View Full Version : keeping particles together !?

hi again,

i'm animating a drop (via blobbies), leaving the tip of a cannula.

i already attached 'gravity' and a 'radial field' with negative magnitude to simulate surface tension and to make the drop look voluminous.

now after the drop has left the opening and keeps on falling down, it spreads into a loose cloud of particles, which doesn't resemble a drop any longer.

is there a way to avoid this ?! i want the drop to keep it's shape until it reaches the fluid it's supposed to fall into ! :shrug:

PS:
already tried using 'particle goals' and 'volume axis fields', but wasn't able to get the results i want !

even after i think that particle goals could work i think you should go for springs.
they will keep it together..
