  TP Particle Collisions, PDeflector

  Posted by Frank Glinski on February 20, 2008 at 11:30 pm

  My PDeflector, which is a tube, is causing my particles to bounce from their center point instead of their edges. Is this the default behavior and how can I correct this?
  Thanks,
  Frank

  I have been unable to change that too.

  I generally duplicate the deflector and scale it so the partilces dont hit the visable geometry.

  The particles are really just point in space and so will collide from the point center, to get the particles to react in a more realsitic way you could use object as the collision type with offset and / or use the collision option of geometry (needs editable meshes as particles)

  with geometry the actaula ploys are taken into account for the collisions
