Particle subframe sampling 2005-04-29 - By Vince Fortin
Back
It seems that instead of having real sub-frame based simulations,
particles have been patched progressively to accommodate a few
functions (emission & collisions). Now every time a new feature is
added, sub-frame is omitted and we rage until it's patched again.
I'm affraid this will be disscussed again forever since it is a very
important feature in any simulation system.
As for the plotted particle, guys, wouldn't that be possible in
parallel if the emitting spheres were simply stuck on particles
without any plotting?
As usual, scripting will get you around most issues like this one. But
at this point it's not even FUN :(
