Re: [[SAMPLE PATCH] Repel Particles?](/topic/7165/sample-patch-repel-particles)
I've been working on the repel patch is there a way I can get the textures of the 3d model to appear. When I export as the .3ds file it doesn't give me export options for the texture except asking if I want to preserve MAX's texture coordinates. I have also tried changing the color of the 3D model particle to white, black, or transparent and still didn't show up. I also was trying to figure out if I can have the particles stay still until it detects movement. right now, I have a mouse watcher since I don't have a web camera at the moment but have a eyes++ patch ready to connect and I know works with the repel patch. I'm wanting to use movement to repel the particles. or by using threshold so that the person is outlined by the particles. I attached the screenshot of my patch.

One option to achieve the effect of particles that outline the person, is to start by creating a video effect of the outline. Once you have the outline as a high contrast image then look at the 3D Particles module. It has the option to emit particles based on a video input - called 'video gen':
It is a legacy 'vid-cpu' input and will likely require conversion.
