View Full Version : Easiest way to diminish particle emissions over time?
Mahlon 08-18-2010, 02:20 PM I have to have a particle emitter slowly diminish the number of particles that it emits over a period of time. Is there a simple way to do this? I can't seem to find a way to do that?
Thanks,
Mahlon

Do you mean, animate the particle amount over time? When I try to do this, even though autokey is engaged, no keys are being created for that spinner. That's why I thought there must be another way.

Just use a Bezier Float instead of a Waveform Controller

Thanks, HornBerger. That's the trick.
Johnny, toot your horn all you want -- that's a great technique to use! Thanks.

A water splash when an engine breaks off a Boeing 777 during a water landing -- not something the pilots really want to experience first hand. :surprised
