An illustration of a nice light beam from above
ufo light
-
- streaks
-
- points
-
- collide turned off
-
- particles not emitting from the same point
-
- wire frame
-
- toons with previous emitters combined
-
- vertical s shape ep curve – points
-
- verticals shape ep curve streaks
-
- different direction
-
- circle ep curve from cylinder
-
- beams not goaled to geometry
-
- goaled to geometry
-
- changing the shape of the geo changes where the beams go
-
- animating the geometry and the beams follow have also created the circular motion
-
- toon shapes
-
- increasing tail size
-
- increasing the rate (particles/sec)
-
- toon shape to emit the circular particles
-
- surface emitter from cylinder using texture to control the emissions
-
- omni emitter
-
- directional emitter
-
- surface emitter
-
- sphere, emitting particles from vertex
-
- cube, animating along the curve
-
- beams still crossing the geometry
-
- rate keyed at 0 to stop particles, was looking at making collide with some geometry
-
- particles staying too long
-
- goal weight under goal weights and objects set to 0.5
-
- goal weight under goal weights and objects set to 1
-
- assigned particle attributes and expressions
-
- particles not emitting on the whole surface
-
- Need Parent UV attributed enabled and particles emitting on surface
-
- grouping all the geometry and instanced this group to the particle
-
- with the plane geometry ungrouped and the propellor grouped
-
- child’s pivot point at its own centre
-
- pivot point of child moved to parent’s pivot point

-
- adjusting attributes, animating the emitter and rate
-
- thick cloud nParticle option with cloud s/w option for particle render type
-
- adjusting attributes
-
- adding the particleCloud shader
-
- building the shading network for opacity and transparency
-
- added the psi and reverse nodes
