  • TParticles: How to rotate particles Indi at birth

    Posted by Jeremy Grubaugh on December 9, 2007 at 12:48 am

    I am new to Thinking particles. I have a simple Pstorm emitter and am passing a simple flat plane shape into it. I want the particle planes to start rotating independently at birth and can not seem to figure how to make that happen. I tried applying rolling and spin but with little success.

    you’re probably using too big a number for spin, it sets how may seconds to do one rotation so if you want lots of spin the number need to be smaller.

    That did the trick. Great lesson learned — thank you so much. Probably more TP questions coming soon but this is a great starting point.
