I wanted to see if I could recreate the particle effects the emotions have on their bodies in the movie “Inside Out”. I created a particle emitter for the “Cube” object using Suzanne as the source mesh. I made the particles instance the “Plane” mesh and added a fuzzy radial texture, but I also wanted them to fade away over time (in this case 60 frames later). I thought adding a stored named attribute node labeled “Age” and reading that attribute the in material shader would work, but instead they’re just popping out of existence instead of smoothly fading away. Is there anything else I should add to the geo nodes or material shader nodes? Ideally, I want to do this all in EEVEE so it’ll render faster.
And here’s the blend file:
