Particle collision event problem - example 2005-04-25 - By matt hollingsworth
Back
Hey,
You could try running these as separate passes and running the impact
guys as spheres or whatever, and making them not visible in their alpha
settings. Then have these tiny spheres emit on impact. Would work as
long as they are exactly the same emission and everything as your
streaks. Could even be in the same pass if you duplicate the emitter
and all that.
Found a good solution yet?
