Hi all,


I am trying to allow particles to populate an area by splitting themselves over time.

Basically the procedure are as follow:
1. Initiate with seed particles
2. Over time, seed particles dies
3. When that happen, they are split into 2 more particles
4. These 2 particles will also die overtime and further split into 2 more particles each
5. The process continue to create an infinite loop.

Attached are the files which i have attempted 2 ways. One by event and the other by grouping.

Both does not create a infinite loop. The simulation ended after set 2 is dead. Somehow the split node does not register the event/group AFTER it. Even the collect node does not help.

Hope you guys could look into it.

Thanks!

Thanks Jeff that was a great start.

I am trying to solve the $EDGE_DIR problem using Python Script for now.

Do you mean you know how to use VOP to get the result?

Hi Jeff. Thank for the reply

I wanted to do this with particles into order get information (eg.numhit) of the intersection. In other words, it is like testing a network/traffic to see if the particle could reach the end of the net and to see which intersection point is more “popular”.

The information will be translated into something else later on.

And there is animation for the particles which makes the presentation of information more appealing i guess.
