Mzigaib Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Since I was inspired by this tornado thread Link, I decided to modify this tool that I've made that I used to do other stuff except for twisters and tornados, I did used it for since crowds of birds and butterflies to flows of dust and ash, it uses any curve to flow particles through it and it interacts dynamically with fields, forces and collisions I just added a function to twist the particles through the curve to make a tornado like effect, since it is done in POP's it's very flexible and controllable and also it has a multi-iteration cache generator where you can set to save several simulations with different seeds and it loads it automatically. One downside it's that since it just uses points to render it's dependent of the amount of ram that you have so if you want a lot of particles you need more ram. Tool Demo Render tests I hope you guys like it! Peace out! Edited January 7, 2012 by Mzigaib Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryew Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Nicely done. That twisting motion could be really useful for doing things like twisting liquid pours like the melted chocolate that seems to turn up in all the ads for sweets Great work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
