    completely unrelated to my previous post…

    i’ve been trying to create a toony splash of water. mr mercury gives an ideal look, but the globs refuse to respond to animated gravity. ie, for them to splash UP i use a low gravity and high velocity, then i want them to fall down so i animate the gravity up… and nothing happens. do the globs inherit the value of gravity at birth and then never pay attention to gravity’s value again?

    it seems silly to have to make globs using mr mercury (because they look so organic so easily) and then use these as custom particles in particular. particular isn’t great at simulating water and it’s stickiness/drops-combining qualities.

    have search for splash threads and nothing useful… mr mercury has been mentioned but, as above. c4 or wondertouch particles aren’t toony enough and as already mentioned, i doubt i’ll get the globbing qualities i want from c4 particles or particle illusion (and would prefer to keep it all AE anyway).

    suggestions most welcome, thanks!

    You can always use CC Blobbylize instead.
    That way you can use any particle system or animations system to design the animation and Blobbylize to get the globs.
