Particle point/Spawn Trail uniformity
Posted: 10 Jul 2009, 21:18
I've been trying to set up a fairly simple trail of particles emitting from the points of my primary cloud. For the most part it works fine, but, regardless of whether I use the Spawn Trail node or set use emit_from_position with the points of the primary cloud plugged in, I end up with uniform emissions.
Basically, although the particles move about independently afterward, they emit on the same frames; there is no variation in when they are emitted between positions/particles
With the age limit set to 2 frames, we get this:
Same thing for both the Spawn Trail compound and a completely separate cloud with only the spawn positions pulled from the primary cloud.
I don't really see why they end up being uniform to begin with, so I most certainly have no idea how one would randomize them.
Any help would be appreciated
