How do I create line animation effect through Paritcles check refrence

[zasid]

Hi,

Please goto this link and have look at this effect created in Houdini

http://vmuriel.blogspot.com/

check the : Testing SynthEyes Animation

I wanted to know how this effect can be done as I am a very beginner at houdini and wants to try this .

This seems to be some particle trial effect combine with some skin or metaballs.

Please help me in achieving this effect.

Thanks.

Hi there,

Here's a simple hip file. I used a Trail SOP to connect the particles. For my setup, the number of particles has to be constant. Well, I didn't try with changing number of points.

Hope the file helps!

Cheers!

This is exactly what I wanted it but how do I render them when I press the render they doesn't render.

I placed a wire sop after trail sop but they doesn't seems to render.

what is that I m doing wrong?
