poppy Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Hi, I got a scene with animated machine gun firing. Created a location emitter, placed and parented to the gun barrel. Result - the whole set of particle transform after its parent and I got a laser beam. How can I free emitted particle from the parenting. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You should only animate (parented) the emitter, not the particles itself. So make sure your particles are in a seperate object.

I took the liberty to quickly make a working example for you. bullets_from_gun.hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
