Jesper Rahlff Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) You could cache out your simulation and then translate the cached simulation to the other thruster. Then merge the translated cache with the non - translated cache. no need to simulate the same thing twice if you desire the same behaviour on both thrusters.

Atom Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 No, just add the other jet engine as part of the current emitter you already have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what i tried but still i have to copy each and every parameter to get the same result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its exactly the same look he is going for, why sim both thrusters rather than just copy the it to the other thruster in sops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesr Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 If the model is light, you should lock it in to the hip file by clicking the "lock" flag on the file sop. It's on the left, and red. Otherwise we can't pull the geo you're basing it all on since we don't have the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesr Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I see. Like it was stated above, you can just add the other turbine cone to the emitter group and have it emit from both. Also, there's no need to really sim your ship as an rbd since it's just going in a straight line. Hope this hip explains what I mean. I tried to keep the general settings and stuff that you had, just organized in a different way. spaceship_01_jamesr.hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
