Birth Grid position and rotation not possible?

#1

HI

I see from other threads that you cannot in any way animate the position or rotation of the birth grid.
Only orientate it at the start.

Using Data Operator might be possible but it is not straightforward at all when it comes to rotation. Should I even try it just looks so hard.

My questions are , is there a way to animate the rotation of the whole Birth Grid?
And if not what am I missing? Why not just allow the Birth Grid icon to be animatable?

thanks a lot

No need to make it overly complex. Just create another system or object that is animated then birth the grid particles when you need too create your particle motion.

can also try:

Creating a plane through the middle of your grid. animate the plane how you like it. Lock bond the particles to the plane.

I think Nico is saying rigid glue them all together and then bind them to the deflector object?

oh did he say he was using massfx? I figured he was just birthing particles in a birth grid fashion.

edit: Johnny pm’ed you.
