Keyframing Particles

[Niteshift]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if there is a way to key frame particles so they will emit when i want them too.

THx

:bang

Yes it's very possible. Just key the emitter rate from zero (no emission) to your desired particle rate. :)

Thx Sunder, it just had to be that easy eh, :)

<edit 1>
I just tried that, but i find there is a little delay on when the particle goes off.


<edit 2>

scratch that, i got it working right, just went into the
graph editor and tuned it

Glad it worked out for you :D

I was also wondering is there a way to make a UI that would have 1 button and when i press that button it would shoot out a particle :)

that would probably be too advance for me right now, but i was just wondering

It can be done by employing some MEL scripts.

The MEL kit will definetly help you out with that. It will go over how to create a UI window and add buttons. You should look into that.

Hi Folks, **** i am so stoned, i merely forgot about my subject while the registration process.

Whatsoever, i need some particel-positions to be keyframed and i dunno how how how to do that.
