Particles along a path with path deform

Anonymous — Mon, 20 Jul 2015 13:45:36 GMT

Hello,

Im trying to use a particle system that uses my instanced geometry of a 3D arros to move along a path, but also deform along the shape of the path as it moves.

How can I do this?

TIA

Dean

Its been a couple daye since I've posted the original question. Does anyone have any ideas? Was I clear in my original posting? I'm getting a little desperate at this point.

Thanks,

Dean

Hello Pyro777.

Do you have a sample file that you can share for internal testing?

Thank you.

Hi, apologies if this is kinda too late.

Here's a sample (assuming I understood the effect that you want):

Also attached is a max2014 file.

Galagast,

Thats awesome! I need to look at mesher and figure out what its doing. Do you know of a way to stop the arrows from stretching in length as they go around the corners, or is that just a byproduct of mesher?
