Hi, I set up a simple particle sim created from points I created in advance with normal to orient them at birth. Everything looks fine but as soon as I put a popspin the orientation of the particles resets is there a way to avoid this?

pop spin orients with the orient attribute. Its a 4 vector quaternion, so to solve your problem…

1. Set your attribute randomize to orient and set dimensions to 4.
2. on the pop spin node check “axis relative to particles orientation” to rotate in particles frame.
