Harsh Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hello Pals, Hope you all are having a great year so far. I am trying to do a shot with particles which needs slow motion on a certain camera moment. Basically, I just want to slow down the motion of my particles for few frames. I dont want to mess with the velocity etc as I really like the motion of my sim. I looked into time-shift, time-warp etc. But they always feel like a cheat and not much of a high quality solution. There is a "Scale Time" option on the POP net. But for some odd reason its locked and we cant key-frame it at all. That would have been the best solution, where we can just lower the timescale for bunch of frames and then resume it in normal speed. Can anyone just give me a brief why Sidefx would want to make this such a big deal and lock it on POP nets? Thank-you and have a great day!

Guest tar Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 not sure how far you looked into it but setting keyframes on pop solver/subsetps/timescale seems to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisdunham95 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Agree with Marty above and would also say you could do this at the compositing stage (if your rendering the particles out) - gives you control in post also - perhaps worth resetting/simming your scene at 60fps so you have more frames per second to slow down - just an alternate idea/method Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harsh Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Hi Marty. For some reason its locked for me. I tried H15 too. Same thing. I can change the Scale Time parameter value but I cant key frame it at all. Its locked. Is there a step I am missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look at this hip file, inside the popnet - popsolver - you can see the animation ive applied to the timescale and it works as marty said odforce_pops_timescale.hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
