Tyflow 016127 spawn node - shirani - 08-11-2021
I think the spawn node has a bug

Hi Shirani,
This is not a bug. Because you set spawn mode to "per step" and you haven't sent Spawned particles out to another event, you're building up a huge number of particles in the same event because you're doubling the particle count each frame and eventually running out of RAM:
Code:
frame 0: 5 particles
frame 1: 10 particles (5 particles each spawned 1 new particle per step)
frame 2: 20 particles (10 particles each spawned 1 new particle per step)
frame 3: 40 particles (...etc....)
frame 4: 80 particles
frame 5: 160 particles
frame 6: 320 particles
frame 7: 640 particles
....
frame 25: 167772160 particles (167 million particles on frame 25! )RE: Tyflow 016127 spawn node - shirani - 08-11-2021

Right thank you
