Hi,

yes I have tried with and without "use size for collision" checked. Any other
ideas?

 Hi!

 Have you checked if "use size for collision" in the Environment Tab is
activated (or not) might be something related to that?

 Subject: Particle collision event problem

 

 Greetings,

 

 I am setting up a simple rain simulation that is composed of two ptypes. The
first are the long streaks that are emitted from a grid above the scene, the
second is the splash ptype emitted via a Emit and Disappear collision event
when the rain streaks collide with an object. When the streaks collide with an
object the splash ptype seems to emit from the top of streak, causing the
splashes to appear above the collision object. I would ideally like the splash
ptype to emit from the point of collision (the bottom of the streak). I've
tried rotating the ptype billboard 180 degrees, but this does not help. I've
also tried various collision settings with both the ptype and the collision
objects to no avail. Could anyone help me out of this quandary?

 

 Thanks,

 Brad
