Aimming particles

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anybody knows a way to aim particles. I have added normals to a pop network within the sop menu. But i wonder if there is a way to control how the normals move and maybe key the way in wich they are aiming. I am basically trying to create a bird flocking effect useing particles. Please let me know any ideas you might have

Particles "aim" in the direction they are traveling so...

If you are going to be copying geometry onto particles with the Copy SOP, the object's +Z axis will point in the direction the particle is traveling. Marc did a flocking example with particles, search the forums here for info about it.
