Not all particles following path

[Anonymous]

Hi

Any ideas why 90% of the particles will follow the "path follow" warp but the other 10%.....whilst keeping close to the main direction, will not sit with the rest of the particles?

On the left, they are all together, but as they start to go around the vortex (spline path, not a force) a string of partts split out and do their own thing!

Any help appreciated.

Many thanks

Hello @Anonymous ,

Does it help if you select the particle system, go to the modifier menu, open the "System Management" rollout and change the viewport and render integration steps to something lower?  Also, does turning off "Keep Apart" make any difference?

Thanks, it was oddly the cache disk.

Even though I cleared it and re-simulated, the same problem occured.

When I turned to cache disk off, the particles all fell into line

Im gonna put this one down to being a "maxism"!

Sweet, I'll keep that in mind if I ever see it again.  Thanks very much for posting your solution.
