Hi,

I have a really simple pflow for putting shape facing particles on every vert of a plane (imagine rows of trees on a hillside)

Whenever I adjust the Variation % in the size/width box it draws lots more different sized particles where previously there had only been 1 particle.

Surely just the size of the particles should change and not create loads more. What am I doing wrong

Cheers
Garry

You had ( and still have) probably more than 1 particle per vert which is visible now due to different sizes.
Use the amin command like Bobo describes here (http://www.scriptspot.com/bobo/mxs5/pflow/pflow__MovingObjects.htm) to avoid this.

Ah yes that looks like what's happening.

I'll have a read of Bobo's page.

Thanks
Garry
