age/lifespan - Saca - 04-12-2022
hi,
I want to get the ration of paticle-age/particle-life-span.
but I cannot find that in tyFlow particles and Cutom float and C# script APIs.
It's very basically, and use for particle opacity, speed, scale , ... at very offten.
customFlowt(age) and bake value into mapping uvw, this technique is not completely fit age/life if using Delete "variation".
"There is no lifespan option within tyFlow..."
https://forum.tyflow.com/thread-659.html#:~:text=There%20is%20no%20lifespan%20option,operator%20in%20the%20same%20event).
i feel that, very many user want to lifespan value.
please let me know if you can, how to get the value as age/lifespan.
thanks

Particles in tyFlow do not have a set lifespan, but you can arbitrarily delete them whenever you want. You can give them a lifespan if you want….for example, assign a max frame value to a custom float channel and delete them once their age surpasses that value, but there’s no default lifespan property.

thanks,
i can get age/lifespan value by customFloat and C# script.
i will attouch sample scene .max file.
in the sample, the particles birth and the material changing red into blue by "agelife" custom float.
Ii have request if you can,"value-to-value" function.
Thinking-particels and houdini has such function. it brings value-to-value exchange with function-curve graph.
