problem with emitter and steam
Hi,
I am trying to make an emitter follow a spline.
When I add an object such as a small cube to the emitter, it does indeed follow the assigned spline. However, when it’s just the emitter and the shaders (to look like steam) it doesn’t follow the spline and just goes straight.
Can anyone shed any light on why?https://f1.creativecow.net/file/11591/11591_cupstoupload.c4d.zip

that’s the original particle system and you can’t get the particles to move excepting by the modifiers that are part of it’s system (Attractor, Deflector, etc – the stuff in the Simulate/Particles menu) if you could get the particles to move in the right way with a combo of those you’d have it. Objects emitted (small cubes etc) will follow the splinewrap but the particles will not because it’s a different control system.
That’s basically true of other particles systems as well Thinking Particles only moves to it’s control system (plus the particle modifiers from the older system you are using) XParticles only follows it’s control system. However, both TP and XP will follow a spline so you might need to use TP -
It would take some refining, but you could use the MoGraph matrix object to generate Thinking Particles.
