Particular explosion problem
Hi there,
I’m try to create an effect where particles explode out at high velocity and then abruptly slow to extreme slow motion (but not frozen, still slightly drifting). I’ve tried various combinations of velocity/birth rate/physics time factor, but I’m struggling to achieve the right effect. Could anyone advise on a possible recipe?

Along with the physics time factor(that’s where I would go to do this), have tried any of the time effects? Or time-remapping your explosion?

Like John, I would do this purely with physics time. Keyframing velocity and birthrate will affect new particles only; particles that already exist in the system are influenced by the values of these properties at the time of their birth and do not “see” changes made to them afterward.

Thanks for the pointers – restricting it just to physics time factor was the solution!
