about spawn


#1

hi, I have a PF sistem with spheres rising on screen, now I add spawn to sphere to make a trail. new particles start from sphere’s center, it’s possible to make new particles birth from sphere surface and not only from his center?

It is possible and quite easy to do. You need to use the “Position Object” operator within PFlow and check

  • Animated Shape
  • Subframe Sampling

Here’s a basic scene, showing what I’m talking about, done in 3ds max 9 SP2

ok thanks for reply but this is not the problem. i need the same trail but my spheres are particle too.so the question is to have that trail from another particle.

looking older post I found one talking about MESHER, a compund object. I think it’s my solution
