particles

Support Basics & Interface

I’ve been using particles to try and fake smoke for a while now (there’s a thread around here somewhere) and frankly, i think i’m pretty damn close.

some things that would make my life easer are: rnd life (i believe this was made to randomize particle lifespan before the update)

and multiple particle systems on one object. I know that i could just duplicate an object, but this makes for far cleaner and easier to navigte scenes.

thanks in advance -coalth

RLife in the Particle Motion tab is for randomizing the particles’ lifetimes.

   I knew what it did, i just needed to know where it was, but i've found it now. thanks.

still, is there a way to have multiple particle systems on one object?

no, I don’t think so.
