CinnamonMetal Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I want the particles to emit only where the painted attribute exists; unfortunately this is not working, when the POP Source Emission Attribute is set to the attribute name of; emitparticles and the Emission type is set to; Scatter on Surface, rather then only the particles emitting where the attribute is painted; the particles are emitting from the whole geometry ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CinnamonMetal Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Make it a separate issue; there must be a way to get this to work if there is no attribute paint sop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobini Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 seriously took me about 2 minutes to get this working with PAINT, not attribpaint (and no, have never done this before ever, first time here) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonMetal Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Using an expression; that is the only way I know how ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobini Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 no, just Paint, 01) grid (easier to see in XY plane), rot 180 so back face now face the front 02) paint, tick override Color, change Cd to emit, paint an S on the grid 03) Particles shelf, click Source Particle Emitter, select the grid, Enter 04) in DOP, scrub, yes it emits from everywhere. 05) click dropdown in Emission attrib, surprise surpise, it has emit ! Choose it. Works....you have 2 mins to do this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonMetal Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) I have it figured out; I was using paint differently. Edited April 3, 2020 by CinnamonMetal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
