Hello,
I am trying to animate bacteria flying in from all directions into an open wound (cut, v shaped), and sticking to the sides. Once inside, they begin replicating, and sort of "crawling around". And finally, they need to be able to stop flowing in once I tell them to do so.
I have been having a difficul time trying to get all of this to work. For example I tried using curve flow (I need to be able to control how they flow into the wound), but when I made the particle's life span "forever", they didn't want to flow on a path anymore :( I was a using a volume emitter, with an instance replacer to make the particles the desired shape, and a "make collide" to make them stick to the sides (again, couldn't get this to work with curve flow). Could somebody please help me out? Thanks ahead of time.
