Particle System Direction Change

gapworks

@DusX .. i really appreciate your hint but i´m a designer not a programmer ! so to be honest i have no clue where to start with your description. :(

Reinhard

It's my first post, so

Hello Forum,

great to have all you nice and helpful people here!

@gapworks: Couldn't get your "attacking the dancer" out of my head, so here's something that might help.

It's particles generated on a circle that is 'out of sight' and they then fly towards the center and die there.

With x,y translate you then move the whole 'system' according to the mouse watcher.

All the best

Clever I would never have worked this out! Thanks for sharing.

Hi

An other workaround, looking quite different.

It of course needs tuning, but I wanted to test the idea.

It's based on gravity and rotation of the 3d space.

@ Mehdi - that's a hard one to scale...

And this way you will never have a precise point of impact, it will always be in infinity.

You can play with start/mid size and fade-in/hold time in mine to give it a bit of a 3d-ish look. 5/1 and 9/1 is a starting point.

@ Skulpture - Izzyguru said 'clever' - you made my day! Thanks!

SO lovely, and generous. Thanks Reinhard! That is beautiful.

We may be the IzzyGuru's but we certainly don't know everything. Isadora is an endless spiderweb of possibilities and creativeness. So when someone creates something unique it deserves recognition. :)

Armando

Really. I'm amazed by what my Izzy students and you guys could do for the last 10 years.

Reinhard

Thanks!

But I have to give credit to @DusX for his comment, that pushed my thoughts into the right direction!
