weird TP

[&Son 0]

Hello,

 

I have a cloud scene, with a matrix object generating TP. I have also created some TP that is being mapped to the points of some geometry. Each cloud gets its own TP group, but strange things happen, and the particles in the matrix object keeping changing from their original group to different ones, must be something in my xpresso.

 

I also included a different file where I have multiple matrix object, set up similarly, with each cloud getting its own TP group, but this time a few select particles from the original matrix object just change groups. Please help. I'm new to TP and xpresso, I'm loving the freedom, but when I come across problems like this i dont always know how to troubleshoot.

hey &Son,

 

it's probably the same problem as in your previous quest ( http://mograph.net/board/index.php?showtopic=25407 ),

so you could have avoided asking here, if you just tried first.

 

the number of Particles in your bgclouds group is growing until Frame 460 where it has 32994 particles.

It has the bgClouds PyroCluster Object set as Geometry with only 10000 particles as Max Visible in Preview.

 

Before trying anything else,

raise that number, see what happens.

 

didn't look at your second file.

 

good luck,

douwe

Thanks for always responding so quickly. Well you were correct as to why the groups were changing.

I have learned my lesson, TP acting weird? Check max. visible and max particles first. Sorry for the redundant posts, no more.
