  Particles animation

  Posted by Andreas Zeiner on September 18, 2008 at 8:07 pm

  hello everybody

  i’m currently doing some complex particle animation and tried out a lot of things for this kind e.g. foam, particle world, particle playground and so on.

  the problem is the following –
  * i have a constant number of particles wobbling around (2D side view)
  * then they have to float through a narrow hole (an outer cell structure) into the inner part of the cell
  * there a few other particles are spawning and spreading through the cell
  * then a few particles are influxing into the inner cell and back to the outer cell structure.
  * during the whole process of movement the particels should follow a “leader” but more approximative than linear … hope you know what i mean – and still wiggling …

  as you can see this should be a very controlled process –
  with a bunch of manual animated particles this could be accomplished of course but the change management in terms of speed or movement would be horrible.

  maybe someone can give me a hint concerning how to accomplish this task- either with expressions or something like that.

  thank you very much

  andy
