Align Particles to Normal [Particle Flow Tutorial]

[@Aaminul555]

Take my Special Gratitude for publish this tutorial. Thanks for thousand times.

[@ParticleSkull]

+Aminul Islam glad it has been useful :)

[@iancrawford2496]

I only watched the front of the video but it was excellent. Thanks man!

[@ParticleSkull]

glad you like it!

[@moegasim]

came to this video looking for a quick solution to normals in pflow....frankly..im surprised i havent seen your channel before...excellent tutorials. Thank you

[@ParticleSkull]

Nice, i'm glad you like it dude ;)

[@moegasim]

Particle Skull Like it???....i have literally stopped working to watch your channel....and its 3 am here...great stuffits THAT good...thanks again

[@ParticleSkull]

Mohammed Elzain Hahaha, that's great Mohammed. Let me know if you get any doubt, solution or idea for a new tutorial! /Alvaro

[@almossawi]

You are the best bro, love your channel!!!

Life Saver. I would of been in Sheep Dit without this.

[@gergolaky3624]

where can we learn more plow or max creation graph? There is close to none information directly out there.

[@ParticleSkull]

Unfortunately Autodesk don’t care about PFlow and it’s users, that’s why I migrated completely to Houdini

[@abo-malek.]

👍👍

[@mattg8205]

Great tutorial...one question though. When I do it, I get some jagged flippy rotation on some of the particles, ususally the ones that are "upside down", or in this case, on the lower hemisphere of the sphere. Is this normal? do you get this, and if so, do you know of a solution? Regardless, it's an AMAZING technique, thank you very very much.

[@julienchiari]

Great tutorial! Thank you very much :) I need your help master ;) Do you know how to make the particles unaffected by the movement of the object on which they are? Thanks

[@shinonyx]

Amazing tutorial, thanks!

[@GaneshGhale]

Alvaro, thanks for these tutorials. I have a question regarding how to rotate the aligned shape instance along y or x axis. I tried using spin and rotation but they resulted in variable rotation on each objects instead of similar rotation. Hope you can suggest some answers.

[@Shawhir]

Wonderful Tutorial Alvaro! Could you do this but also deform the vertices of a mesh over a period of time?

[@ParticleSkull]

+Mark Quinn Glad you like it Mark. I think it would work just fine with animated mesh. Did you gave it a try? /Alvaro

[@Shawhir]

Hey Alvaro - I did and it did work for many modifiers - mine seems to be a little trickier though. Let's say we animate the verts of the sphere from a flat plane shape to a spherical shape using melt and edit poly animate - all the particles don't keep their normals and point in one direction.

[@kirankudpane9676]

i am too late but -> lock it on emitter on position object and turn on animated shape

[@richardcommin3340]

Thanks for the Tut, super useful, would you able to tell how you would loop the particles?

[@ParticleSkull]

Richard Commin hey Richard, sorry man I'm not working with pflow anymore so it's pretty hard to say

[@richardcommin3340]

No worries thanks for the fast reply. What software do you work in these days?

[@ParticleSkull]

Houdini ;)

[@ElenaZelena]

Mank thanks a lot !where did you get these skills from ? Astonishing !

[@TheShpriest]

Thank you very much!!!

[@JustAboutOk]

Hey this is awesome, would you know how I would go about doing this in Maya 2017? I'm really stuck and cant find the solution or where to even look :(

[@Brain_Sync]

Hi, thanks for these tutorials. I'm trying to combine the align to Normals with procedural animated particles (legs), but something strange happens and they flip out changing angle randomly. Do you have any idea what could be wrong? (apparently Lock/Bond has something to do with it, but I'm not sure)

[@elivilen]

very interesting thanks, im just starting to learn about data operators could you suggest where to start and what to start learning?

[@ParticleSkull]

Hey Eli, there's this great Autodesk MasterClasses introducing a lot of Data Operator content. I've learned a lot from there: area.autodesk.com/masterclasses/masterclass/class3_q2_AnselmVonSeherr-Thoss_Advanced_mParticles_and_Data_Manipulation

[@elivilen]

thanks i well check it out :)

[@ParticleSkull]

Eli V you're welcome.

[@lazyfingrz]

however has disliked this beautiful video has never been stuck in pflow.

[@ParticleSkull]

lol, thx man

[@lazyfingrz]

@@ParticleSkull your welcome sir .. pls rollout more of this goodness. thanks.

[@nani2245120]

hii if i want my particles to move inside the surface how to approach that..for example inside a box not outside the surface

[@ParticleSkull]

+naveen kosanam Hey, you should try to uncheck the "Restrict to Surface" option on the Lock Bond. At 10:07. Best, Alvaro

[@nani2245120]

+Particle Skull i tried it but the particles are blowig out of it.. simply whant i want is particles should move only inside the box not outside

[@Mr1ManArmy69]

Try to invert normals on the box. Or change pivot on particle instance object.

[@BernardoAmorim]

I love you! thank alot!!! really importa this tutorial!!!

[@ParticleSkull]

glad you like it dude :)

[@claytonengelmann3267]

How do you open the Particle View dialog box?

[@iiiooiiiooiiio]

create > geometry > select Particle Systems from the dropdown list > in the Setup tab click on Particle View

[@SpearChuckUngawa]

This might be the New Year's goal, to complete it before my attention span exaperates

[@alvaromoreira37]

good! my goal is to make less boring tutorials haHa

[@omegastudio3124]

I'm using 3ds Max 2013 64 Bit there is no Data operator. What to do?

[@alvaromoreira37]

You need to install the 2013's Subscription updated in order to get Data Operators and mParticles. However i'm not sure how you can find it right now man. /Alvaro

[@ApexArtistX]

Can I request tutorial

thanks men u save my life....!!!

[@ParticleSkull]

Cool :)

[@fasalkp4348]

u r bestthe particle thinker :)
