Dear ParaView crew, congratulations on your 4.1 release, I am looking forward to give it and its new features a try. Sadly, once more I am missing the long awaited (5 years [1]), highly demanded (203 votes on uservoice [2]), but still back locked [3] reload button. Can you give an official

I got it. I think that the correct way of doing this would be: 1. Seed particles 2. Integrate 1 time step 3. Kill particles that are older that threshold 4. Connect particles to generate streaklets 5. If time step % n == 0, update seed source randomly 6. Go to 1 if time step left Does this make

Yes, that sounds very sensible! Of course, the difficult part (for me, a relative noob) is to actually implement those steps in terms of a Paraview pipeline. Or would you recommend creating a new custom filter? Unfortunately experimentation has been difficult because of the slowness /

Note that if you jump around in time, the particle filter can be very slow specially with time dependent data. It has to regenerate the particle paths for all of the times in between if you do that, which means loading a lot of data from disk. It should be relatively fast when animating forward
