I'm betting that each particle system is using the same random seed, causing each one to look exactly the same. you could set the timebase to external and use the position in the loop to change the time being sent to the patch. An example is attached.

i am trying to create multiple instances of a particle system. i've managed to do so with the "replicate in space" patch, but haven't been successful in doing so with an "iterator" patch and its associated iterator variables.i can successfully replicate the same particle system, but i'd like to assign different variables to each iteration, hence the iterator/ variables patches. when i try to do so, the iterations end up all getting the same values - particularly of X/Y/Z and stack up on top of one another.is this a limitation of particle systems, or am i missing something? i'll be glad to post my QTZ file somewhere for debugging.thanks. charles mangin | Alpha Geek and Chief Mental Hygienist [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mentalhygiene.com _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
