Particle collision

Right now, I have an obstacle, but all it does is deflect the particles (the particles continue to live happily and scatter away from the obstacle). Is that deflection I have to use?

:smiley: If yes, what are the settings you have to put to STOP the particles ? (the particles die upon colliding with obstacle)

I’ve never really studied the blender particle system, but I know for a fact there’s a ā€˜kill particles on collision’ setting in Jahka’s particle patch.

Of course there’s also comb and cut for hair and practically everything else. I’d look into it if I were you.

The particles have a maximum life spam setting in terms of frames, you could try and use that. I don’t really know much about this.

It sure looks like it would be in particle tab 3, ā€œDie on hitā€ button.

But I’m looking at this for the second time ever tonight.

:smiley: Tab 3 ? I have only 2 tabs… /Particles/Particle Motion\

:smiley: If you are using, the Jahka patch, I think I’m gonna get it too…

You need a version with Jahka’s particle patch. www.graphicall.org
