Using many Limit by Time Range compounds

Post by Leandro Oliveira » 06 Apr 2010, 15:58

Hi guys,

I want to emmit particles from an object from frame 100 to frame 300, 500 to 700 and 1000 to 1500. The Limit by Time Range compound has one single range only. How can I create many ranges?

Thanks,

Thanks, again.

If you think about it, AND wouldn't make sense in your situation, because time can't be between 100-300 AND be between 500-700. It'd always come back False.

You could do something like (greater or equal to 100 AND less or equal to 300) OR (greater than 500 AND less than 700).

Hope that helps your understanding...
