Particle direction 2004-06-18 - By Comic House

Hi Francis,
Okay, I noticed that the instancing feature did not inherit the directional
constraint of the objects. So if I use objects without the instancing method,
how can I attach them to the cloud? Constraint each arrow to a single particle?
cheers

particles and tell each particle to "look" where they're going. Then if the
particles stop and they don't look in the right direction, you could blend in a
direction constraint on the objects. For this you would need to use real
objects constrained to the particles, not using the particle instancing feature
.

group of objects is to attach the arrow objects to a particle cloud. Do you
guys agree? And if so, is there a way to make all the particles look in the
same direction (=centre screen)?
