davilucho Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Hi all, I need some help I have a group of particles falling on a floor.(see file atached) When they hit the ground they become a splash through a pop replicate within a group. Now what I need is to make the main particles invisible, that is, I just want to render the splashes. Exactly how I have it now, but rendering only the splash What would be the best way to do this? I'm stuck with this simple one. Thanks so much for any help. RAIN_question.hiplc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Revisit the Delete node in your setup and visualize it by moving the Blue display flag. Set the Delete to operate upon points and in the group field add the popstream from the pop replicate. "stream_popreplicate1" Delete non-selected. This will give you only replicated particles, not falling rain drops. You can also leverage the "justborn" group to get particles right when they appear.

Noobini Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) isn't it just Kill Original Particle ? in the popreplicate birth ? hmmm...I just used bbox in the end...would have thought much simpler than this... why is @Atom's method not working for particles falling below the ground ? Hence I decided on using bbox. EDIT: ahhh...the ones I see falling way below the ground are not the orig rain particles...they're the replicated ones...that's why... vu_RAIN_question.hiplc Edited February 8, 2020 by Noobini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
