Sorry for the late response!

I also used the dynamics tags on the emitters, and it still followed the original “track” from before the collision. And what even weirder, I made new file and put the camera in first, and it works like a charm in terms of camera movement, but now I’m having a heck of a time trying to replicate the particle movement from the original.

Its probably easier to see than to describe 6212_camerafollow.c4d.zip

(guess I should have put a file up a while ago, my bad!) Anyways, this is the original file, where the particle move correctly but the camera keeps going in a straight line. I’m sure its probably something stupid I forgot.

Thanks again, this has been a huge help and I never would have been able to figure it out on my own!

Using the Tracer seems to do the trick! Thank you so much! The file you uploaded was super helpful, Dan.

The only issue I’m having with it so far is that once the original particle collides with the second one, the camera stops following the first particle and instead just follows the path it had been following. I tried making a second Tracer for the second particle but it doesn’t seem to help. Any ideas? Or do I just have to suck it up and use xpresso for this one?

A million thanks,

Erinn

Thank for the quick reply!

That seems to help, but now I’m having a problem where the sphere won’t actually go into the bowl. When I play the animation, the sphere just kind of rides up along side it. I’ve tried readjusting where the bowl is but that doesn’t seem to fix the problem. Does it have something to do with the fact that the bowl is a collider body?

Thanks again,

Erinn

Spartan will export a number of Spartan files (Spartan Document, SPARTAN Exchange, SPARTAN Collection, Spartan Database, etc.), which I don’t think will be very helpful, but it also can export the following files:

Cambridge
Macromodel
SybylMol
SybylMol2
Brookhaven
MDL SD
MDL SKL
MDL TGF
SMILES
xyz
JPEG
PNG

I was looking to keep the 3-d aspect of it, so a JPEG or a PNG might not be the most helpful, but it can do them.

Thanks!

That did the trick! Thank you so much for your help!
