Stop curve flow 2003-11-17 - By Aleksandar Stiglic
Back
While using effects -> curve flow, I need to stop particle flow at some
frame.
Curve which they are atached to is still moving, so I can't stop it with
current time
or with taking off dynamics.
So I figured I can do this by changing age, and swaping age attribute
which goes to position array
with some custom attribute.
But the age is not connected insted it's ageNormalized.
Does anyone know how this can be calculated from age values?
I solved this by replacing ageNormalized with custom attribute, who
takes this value
until certain frame, then also keying Lifespan attribute which changes
to very high number
from same frame, and killing the emittion at the same frame too.
But is there any nicer/quicker solution for this?
I've was trying to change runtime expression in order to do this, but
didn't come
with good result as yet.
Thanks
Al
