sprite particles and camera

[ctp]

You can use something like this in your expressions:


float $camPos[] = `xform -q -translation camera1`;

vector $particlePos = position;

float $distance = mag((<<$camPos[0],$camPos[1],$camPos[2]>>) - (<<$particlePos.x,$particlePos.y,$particlePos.z>>));

spriteScaleXPP = spriteScaleYPP = $distance * 0.2;


Make sure to have added the spriteScaleXPP and spriteScaleYPP perParticle attributes.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. It has been useful.


How is it possible to use a smoothstep in this function to get a curve formation as the sprite particles travel.

BRgds,
