  • Combining 2 particle flows from different angle to look like liquids flowing into one another

    Posted by Michael West on November 19, 2018 at 7:35 pm

    Good morning:
    Is it possible to make 2 particle flows coming from different directions (say, left to right and right to left) mix and meld and integrate into one another like 2 streams of liquid running into one another?
    Thanks for any help you can provide, and have a great holiday season.

    What if in addition to the two particle streams firing into each other, with an attract gravity modifier, to bend them into downward arcs, you layer a third stream/emitter that’s the “mixed” version, and you use blending modes coupled with management of the various decay rates, to suggest the mixing?

    Thanks, I will try that. Although I’m not sure of the procedural steps you’re mentioning, I’m familiar with the terms, so it’s time to put on my learning hat.
    Thanks again, and have a good holiday season.

    Have a look at my tutorial here – not exactly what you are talking about but you only need to increase the particle count to create something more like liquid:
