j00ey Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hi I'm having a little difficulty controlling particle emission from some curves - I'm guessing I'm missing something pretty simple... I have some wires simulated and I want to emit from them but only from 1 end of them - I'll use the rest of the length of the wire to push the particles along later. I have an emission attribute set up and if I switch the geometry to be eg a sphere, it works fine. If I append a polywire SOP to my wires it works fine but the wires on their own ignore it. Can anyone give me a pointer? hipnc attached Many thanks plasma_v01.hipnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke046 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) oh saw that you tried polywire, hm yeah it works because its also a surface as the sphere. some reason emission from points don't seem to pick up. Hm if you dont care about a gradual emission then just delete by attribute Edited May 22, 2014 by luke046 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j00ey Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Hi Lukas Thanks for the reply. Odd isn't it, seems like it shouldn't be a problem... I'm using the polywire version - gives me more or less the same result, I just thought I was missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
