Particle birth Script

Submitted by Walnutsp on Thu, 2018-02-22 05:23

Hello All

Is it possible to create a Particle Birth Script (PF Source) that would control the amount of particles emitted per second based on an external text based file. the amount of particles varies over time (like a car exhaust pumping out emissions)?

Could this then be scaled up to include 100+ particle systems (multiple car exhausts), i imagine that this would slow Max right down... but cant be avoided.

Thanks, any help guidance most appreciated!

Particle size

Hello All

I have a excel spread sheet that contains (1 second steps) x y z positions, and a 4th column that has size.

Is it possible to generate a script, based on a PF Source, that would pump out a particle based on the xyz and size (say radius of a sphere) at each one second time step?

Thanks!
