Re: blend of speed using test inside null
No need for states or linear interpolate - just used age percentage through an fcurve node to drive the new speed directly - if only the fcurve editor for these parameters was nicer to use! *-- * *Jonny Grew Ltd * *www.Jonnygrew.com* *http://vimeo.com/jonnygrew/showreel2013*http://vimeo.com/jonnygrew/showreel2013 *07855 212722* Jonny Grew Limited is registered in **England** and Wales.

Re: blend of speed using test inside null
glad you got it working! States are handy to keep your ice tree optimized, and will make it much easier to debug in the future. It will obviously depends how much you are going to build on top, if it's a simple tree then your are done. When emitting a LOT of particles it is sensible to create also state where you send particle to die, sounds harsh I know ;) On 18 July 2013 09:45, Jonny Grew jonny.g...@gmail.com wrote: No need for states or linear interpolate - just used age percentage through an fcurve node to drive the new speed directly - if only the fcurve editor for these parameters was nicer to use! *-- * *Jonny Grew Ltd * *www.Jonnygrew.com* *http://vimeo.com/jonnygrew/showreel2013*http://vimeo.com/jonnygrew/showreel2013 *07855 212722* Jonny Grew Limited is registered in **England** and Wales.

Re: blend of speed using test inside null
Hi Jonny, What you probably want to do is use states, so trigger state 1 if particle is inside the null. Then, on state 1 you could use a Linear interpolate using the particle age or age percentage.
