Particle Split Infinite Looping

[itismoi]

Hi all,

I am trying to allow particles to populate an area by splitting themselves over time.

Basically the procedure are as follow:

1. Initiate with seed particles

2. Over time, seed particles dies

3. When that happen, they are split into 2 more particles

4. These 2 particles will also die overtime and further split into 2 more particles each

5. The process continue to create an infinite loop.

Attached are the files which i have attempted 2 ways. One by event and the other by grouping.

Both does not create a infinite loop. The simulation ended after set 2 is dead. Somehow the split node does not register the event/group AFTER it. Even the collect node does not help.

Hope you guys could look into it.

Thanks!

I did search for it but maybe not thorough enough.

That's exactly what i wanted. Thanks for the help.

Now to add more behavior....
