slow operator

[super gnu]

ive got some particles shooting off a surface.   i then have gravity causing them to curve downwards.      id like particles to slow down after shooting off surface, but still be pulled down by gravity. 

 i thought putting a slow operator *after* the surface force, but * before* the gravity force  would affect the surface force but leave the gravity effect untouched. 

when i tried simming it, the particles slowed to a stop, and just hung in space.  

am i missing something?

[tyFlow]

You can't really isolate velocity sources like that since velocities are all combined together as the simulation progresses. This isn't a limitation of tyFlow, it's simply the nature of physics

Experiment with the "only affect" parameters in order to not dampen downward velocities, thereby excluding your gravity. You may need 2 slow operators. One to dampen X/Y values, and then one to only dampen positive Z values.
