Follow

Makes particles follow a leader.

This tool can be used to simulate a missile following a moving target, or even a swarm of bees chasing a character.

Using Follow

  1. Start with two particle streams.

  2. Use the group node to put one particle stream into a group called leaders. Use another group node to put the other stream into a group called followers.

  3. Use a collect node to collect the two particle streams.

  4. Click the Follow button on the Drive Particles tab of the shelf.

    On the Leader tab, set the Leader Group to leaders.

Note

You must customized the parameters of the particle and follow nodes in the parameter editor. This tool is quite advanced and simply putting down the nodes will not automatically generate the desired result.

For specific parameter help see the Follow node help.
