keyframed scale

[postreal]

I have animated (keyframes) particle shape (object) scale. How do I use that animated scale in birth event? Also need to use it in spawn event. So when particle born scale animation plays/fades in.

Uh, never mind. Forgot that you could just animate the scale operator.

Hi Postreal,
how do you sync this keyframed scale to the particle age (or birth) please?

I mean I would like each particle to fade away along its life
but I cant figure out how to do this very simple thing.

I tried all the combination between the "scale>timing" and the "scale>keyframe-synchronization" parameters
without any (understandable) result.
This thing drives me crazy...

Usually when you want to sync scale keys to particle age, you need to be in 'absolute' scale mode with timing set to continuous. Have you done that?

Thanks now I get it
My problem was the scale :
I use Scale operator in absolute mode in both events and it now it works as I was expecting.

Thanks!
