how to do this kind of effect ?

[CapitanRed]

particlePosition = [sin(Time*360)*radius, cos(Time*360)*radius, particleAge ] would give you spirals going upwards spinning 360° every second...

[Glacierise]

Hehe, nice one, Captain! Another way is to use the speed by icon operator - you can pass particles to it at different points, and if it's path constrained to a spiral, the particles will perform the move too.

Not sure i understand youre setup. would you mind building a small sample file?

Thanks

Here you go ;)

[Polimeno]

Here you go ;)

What MAX version are you using ?

Please,
send in Max9....

* EDIT

i think i didn´t express myself right, i´ll colect more references to show better....

my first test......(far for what i want)

remember this scene in first MUMMY film (1999) ???

while "the mummy" open his mouth blows particles and throw a "parasite insects" effect.....

this is PART what i need,
because also want the particles to follow eight splines in spiral to achive forms......


oO?

[Polimeno]

not yet.....

[Glacierise]

Haven't seen the movie, regretably. But I hope you're on your way to achieving the effect - post again if you have a more concrete question.

resume:
animate particles outside mouth while character blow.
particles have to travel in 8 spiral forms


particlePosition = [sin(Time*360)*radius, cos(Time*360)*radius, particleAge ] would give you spirals going upwards spinning 360° every second...

how to put it inside the SCRIPT operator ?


EDIT:
let say i have 1 cylinder that have a face extruded along a spline.....
is it possible to make particles passing and traveling inside it, respecting the volume of gemoetry ?

like an air passing inside a pipe ???

Split your flow into 8 events (with split amount operators) and create the 8 different spirals, with 8 speed-by-icons.

Just use a spline to drive them, again with speed by icon, using the 'steer towards trajectory' option.

[Polimeno]

please,

can you send me a MAX9 file ?

[Glacierise]

I can't, sorry, no max 9 here.

[CapitanRed]

is this the motion you were looking for??

Nicely done! Good job! :thumbsup:

[Polimeno]

Glacierise - ok, no problem.


CapitanRed - yes ! thanks !!

What radius is this referencing? I added this line into a script op and it totally errored out!

(

pCont.usePosition =true
pCont.useAge=true

)

on Init pCont do
(

)

on Proceed pCont do
(
count = pCont.NumParticles()
for i in 1 to count do
(
pCont.particleIndex = i
CurID=pCont.particleID

--if (pCont.particleNew) then


(

pCont.particlePosition = [sin(Time*360)*radius, cos(Time*360)*radius, pCont.particleAge]

)
)
)

on Release pCont do
(

)




particlePosition = [sin(Time*360)*radius, cos(Time*360)*radius, particleAge ] would give you spirals going upwards spinning 360° every second...

[CapitanRed]

well, you have to define the radius somewhere before in the scirpt.

like:
radius= 50
or
radius = $sphere01.radius
