Post: looping keyframe animations

I have a bunch of particles that are birthed and have an animated scale so they pulsate. I've set the Timing to Continuous and given them a Keyframe offset variation, but the keyframe animation is not...

Post: particles follow animated grayscale map?

I've distributed particles on a mesh using a grayscale map. The map is animated. Is there any way to have the particle positions follow the animation?

What would be the best way to approach making a chime bell like the ones below? I've tried two separate Spline Paths - one for the upper thread and one for the lower - but I can't figure out how to se...

I have an irregular spline that an object path follows. I'd like to use tyFlow to add a single tapering trail to the object with tySpline, but the object motionis not passed on to tySpline, even if I ...

Thanks. It took a bit of trial and error, but the "Follow" force settings are giving me close to what I want. I'm going to create some meshes the same shape as the trajectory I'm aiming for to see ...

Thanks! I had tried increasing the steps but it was getting too slow to handle. So I took your hint and instead created a box 1cm high placed 10cm beneath the ground plane and added it to the collisi...

I have another question if you don't mind. I'm getting closer to the look I'd like. I have a PhysXCollision set to Ground Collider Collisions that sends the concrete to another Voronoi to create sm...

Thanks. That's what I did to get the result. Although I still can't figure out why I had to rotate them -90 on Z. I wasn't aware of the Move Pivots operator. That's really useful. Thanks again for...

Thank you! I'm getting a strange result here though. Is the attached image how it's meant to be? The trees are aligned to the surface normals, not vertical world z.
