  • Running a particle system “backwards”?

    Posted by James Kumorek on June 16, 2016 at 1:04 pm

    Another question: Is it possible to have a particle system run in reverse? If I wanted to take an image of something, and have a cloud of particles appear and swirl around until it forms the image?

    Like taking a pImageEmitter and instead of the image turning into particles and moving around, it starts with particles and ends up as the solid image?

    You can’t run a particle system in reverse, but the easy way of doing it would be to render out the particle animation and bring it back in, hit the Reverse switch on the Loader to run it backwards, and composite as required.
