Hi ya all! =)
I've been trying to make fluid flow throug a pipe, up /down and to the sides. First I tryed all kinds of flow and fluidplugins, but first of all its veery hard to get a constant and smooth flow, and secondly my computer cant handle all the thousands of particles.

So now I discovered curve flow, oooo it's sooo nice =).
But there is one thing I still cant achive, it's controling the speed of the partikles. Sure I can set the speed of the particles from the
begining, but I want to be able to stop the particles in the midle of the animation, and then when I start them again they will continue from the place they were stopped.

Is there any smart ways to do this? Or is there any good plugins?
(It would be cool if I could add a little gravity to them and make them collide without the particles to get nuts) =)

Thx in advance =)

you could try animating the time attribute of the particles..
just disconnect it and set keyframes...

havent tried but could work

cheers
