Thinking Particle Materials

[Junior Taxi 0]

Hey Guys,

 

I'm having some trouble with thinking particles in c4d and wondering if anyone has run into the same problem. Is it possible to have the birth of a particle trigger its material's animation?

 

Here's a simple reference file:

Basically I want to have the animation of the growing black dot play from the beginning at the birth of each new particle. Make sense? this seems like a really simple thing but I just can't seem to figure it out. Is it even possible?!?

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Chris

I dont see how will these be possible to achieve with TP check the action timer on your xpresso. Havent use it for a single project but that could be something to explore if you want to go TP way.
