  • Xpresso TP problems with a simple (?) solution?

    Hi!

    I’m trying to import a particle animation and apply the ‘pscale’ attribute that is in the simulation to set the size of my objects. I’ve never really used Xpresso before and I am having issues making it work all together. I’m guessing I’ve just missed something basic.

    Here is a screenshot of what the setup looks like:

    I’ve used a PStorm emitter (I’m not sure I need this since my imported particles are already being emitted?). I have attached the imported particle group to ‘Particle Geometry’ but it is not emitting the geometry (Cube) nor applying pscale.

    Any ideas? I have attached the scene if you want to see it for yourself.

    Many thank yous!

    yes simple. You use a PPass not a PStorm and you don’t need a Particle Geometry – then the PPass feeds the Shape the GetData and a Setdata like this…
