Path follow is spinning even when spinning is on zero - Alexx31 - 02-14-2022
I'm not sure if there is a solution for this:
I realized, that the Follow Path is often spinning the particles around the path, despite the spinning being on zero.
Attached is a screenrecoding and the simple scene.
I saw that in several scenes and it's always hard to get the particles following the path but without spinning.
I tested slow operators and different settings. (dynamic, locked...)
Maybe something that could be enhanced in future?

RE: Path follow is spinning even when spinning is on zero - tyFlow - 02-15-2022
You have a very strong attraction force (and no damping - ie, a Slow operator on top)...so the "spinning" is artificially created by the follow, attraction and PhysX collisions all working together.
Just set your attraction force to 1 and you'll see the difference.

Thanks, I had to adjust the spline, the curve was too narrow
(In very tight curves with higher speed it's hard to adjust, unless it's not "locked")

You should put a Slow operator on top with very high values. The reason it's hard to adjust is because you're giving your particles constant acceleration.
