  • Expression for controlling the size of a particle in particular

    Posted by Josh Ruha on July 6, 2016 at 4:18 am

    Hey guys, nice to meet you all.

    I am new here to creative cow so a big hello from me. I have followed this forum throughout the years but never uploaded any posts myself so this is my first!!

    So long story short, I am scratching my head at this problem that I am currently facing.

    What I would like to achieve is a pulsing star in particular (We need to use a particle generator to achieve the effect we are after.)

    I have been trying to figure out a way around this but unfortunately have hit a brick wall. Would any of you know of a way that I could achieve a pulsing star in particular??

    Is there an expression I can plug into the size parameter that may be able to achieve this?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Josh

    For evenly pulsing, you should be able to use
    mult = 5; // pulsing speed
    50*(Math.sin(time*mult)+1)
