[Closed] Ressource on Pflow scripting
hello all
i’m looking for some tutorial on Pflow scripting (like the title) all i found was the tutorial by bobo( very nice one BTW)
are ther any other tutorial around on PFLow?? i tought it would be great to gather them all .
One? I have a whole page of them.
http://www.scriptspot.com/bobo/mxs5/pflow/
I even put some of those into the MAXScript Reference, just in case…
Would you be interested in buying a CG-Academy DVD on PFlow Scripting if there was one?
Would you be interested in buying a CG-Academy DVD on PFlow Scripting if there was one?
if you made it yeah ! ( and you gave me a free copy ) just kidding
seriously that the only thing i think the’re missing in the cg-academy DVD
thank for the link BTW
[edit] those were the one i was refering to . very well done .
I looking for a way to “modify” the speed by age to a Scale by age to simulate the Fade for function with the superspray.
if you have any idea i’m taker
*Create a default PFlow
*Add a Delete operator, set to By Age, specify age to die at (this is necessary to fill in the Lifespan channel which tells us how long a particle will live)
*Add a Script operator, enter the following code:
on ChannelsUsed pCont do
(
pCont.useAge = true
pCont.useScale = true
pCont.useLifespan = true
)
on Init pCont do ( )
on Proceed pCont do
(
count = pCont.NumParticles()
for i in 1 to count do
(
pCont.particleIndex = i
pCont.particleScale = 1.0 - (pCont.particleAge.frame / pCont.particleLifespan.frame )
)
)
on Release pCont do ()
This will fade linearly to scale of 0.0 before the particle dies.
To get a more interesting slow-out / fast-in curve, you could use other functions instead, like a COS function:
...
pCont.particleScale = cos (90 * pCont.particleAge.frame / pCont.particleLifespan.frame )
...
awesome.!!! i tried but i wasnt able to find the right solution.
I would so steal your brain if it was possible or maybe i’ll clone you and keep my mini-bobo in a steel cage just to keep my lazy ass to look in the maxscript reference
thank again Mr petrov.
