ValentinD Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hello everyone ! Does someone know how to use an animated mesh for driving some velocities of particles ? I have done a sim that I like but I want it to follow the character's animation... The particles born in the chest and goes to his head which is rotating... I'm pretty new to pops, I think that maybe I can make it move through a pcopen but maybe it is a bit too much for what I want to do ? Also, I'm not pretty sure about how to make it... Maybe it's possible to feed the pcopen with a scatter of point on the surface of the character ? Thanks a lot and have a great day ! (Once finished and online I will try to post it as a comment !)

Navneet Arora Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 scatter some points on character surface and use attribute interpolate to lock those points onto the surface, then later in the pops use pop attract and points as your desired method. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmfield Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) If you want to birth and keep particles on a deforming surface, a ray SOP in a SOP solver works really well. surface_pop.hiplc Edited July 29, 2016 by Farmfield 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmfield Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Sorry for the absence people, I've been upgrading my workstation and basically got stuck in hardware limbo for a week. But yeah, cool, glad to be of help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
