Hi, I ended up scripting my way out of it in After Effects and Particular. I've been down your road Morten. A preset would be nice.
I do understand the problem though, since I'm simulating, and not running a "procedural flow" I guess running the flow along curve compound on one pointcloud, then have a second pointcloud - perhaps not even simulated - get point positions from the first pointcloud and turbulizing those, and then adding strands to that is the way to go. But I didn't have time to make it work cause I just cloned myself. I'm going to pursue this, when I get some time, since Soft can handle a lot more strands than particular. Hands up for EmRPC by the way! P On 10/06/2013, at 12.22, Morten Bartholdy <x...@colorshopvfx.dk> wrote: > +1 BIG time. I have tried and failed at making this work properly.
