    Hello guys

    im try to do some crazy stuff with thinking particles and my question is:

    using xpresso and thinking particles how can i attach a particle to an object?

    like i have a rubik cube and all the small cubes are independent objects and i want to atributte a particle do witch one so i can be able to animate then using thinking particle propreties and xpresso

    That can be done a few ways first glace it looks like a PFrag played backwards. You could achieve this with Mograph and TP too. And depending on how much control you need Pblurb can handle this too….

    hi Randy. Thanks for the answer

    and if i have an object that i fragmented by hand and every piece is diferent object.

    what is the way to emit a particle to each one, so then i can apply gravity, wind, turbulence(whatever) and the objects stay conect to the particle and move and rotate with the particle?

    I am not sure exactly what you mean… You can effect particles but not control them directly. (Mograph is a bit of an exception).

    You have several objects do you want them to be the particles? or turn into particles? or have particles come off of them?…. the example video looks like the logo was the object for a Matrix object w/TP that used an effector to start with then a wind and gravity node animated with the constrain.

    Or they made the pile, made it a single object and the logo one object and used the pblurb to go from one to the other.

    the first option:

    “you have several objects do you want them to be the particles?”

    I have a several objects that i want them to be particles
    how can i do that?
