Simple Particles Trails in Blender | Simulation Nodes Made Easy

[@tyron2.o207]

Wow thanx man for toturials for your support i watch many videos of your channel to give some money through the ads again thank you

[@juncando]

Excellent. Finally i understand. Hope this still works in 4+

In 4.0 I had an issue where the points of the curve in the 3rd part weren't merged, it was creating unconnected segments. I had to solve this by adding a "Curve to Mesh" - "Merge by Distance" - "Mesh to Curve" set before the "Set Spline Type" node

Proud Sri Lankan here! Thanks so much bro!

[@KymberlyBednar]

Great tutorial! My sound cutout midway through the video and I was still able to follow along with a great outcome.

[@keziagreste]

Thanks sm!! I've been searching for this..

[@juncando]

You are my new favourite sensei

[@anthonnyd]

This is incredible!!

[@johnlawrencejacob6579]

I love it men!

[@MotionTeddy]

Thank you!

[@Aaws424]

thanks man ❤❤

[@farhadkhosravi4630]

Great ✨

[@emimeemio]

Nice, thanks! How I can slow down those emitted particles?

[@mdreamslk]

you have to reduce the displacement value. reduce the vector math>scale node value.

[@JohnGetchel]

Super cool! Thanks for such a great tutorial!

[@fiansyah611]

you always the bestt mannn

[@elindiamond1382]

the trail radius is the reversed for me - the thicker is the end and not the beginning and i cant figure out why/ how to reverse it? any idea anyone?

[@mdreamslk]

Use float curve node after spline parameter node and adjust the curve (first point to 1 second point to 0.) Or use map range node and swap the bottom two value inputs.

i had an issue where things weren't 'simulating' correctly and it turns out it was because I added the object info node and then targeted the controller object. When I dragged the object from the hierarchy into the geometry nodes window and used the object info node which that created and everything began to work as expected. Just wanted to leave this here in casae anyone runs into this, also in case anyone knows why this happens?

[@phoenix_games7891]

in the geometry node window when i go to add add a node, simulation zone doesn't show up, is there something I have to do beforehand?

[@mdreamslk]

Which version of Blender are you using?

[@phoenix_games7891]

@@mdreamslk 3.1.2

[@mdreamslk]

simulation zone is not available in 3.1. You need 3.6 or above.

[@phoenix_games7891]

@ ohhhhh okay thank you

[@_yaga]

you don't know why "relative" cordinates don't work in version 4.0? how can this be repeated in the new version?😭😭 thx a lot❤❤

[@33rdframe]

something seems to be broken with the physics in 4.0 ive tried so many times following everything you did and my particles are not behaving properly. also seems like blender 4.0 is not saving the named attribute.

[@itayozari6252]

How I can controll the frame where the sim starts?

[@mdreamslk]

put geometry switch node before the join geometry node(between points and join geometry). plug the points to switch node's true socket. now you can animate the switch to run/stop simulation at any frame.

[@kengrade]

Can i make Trail only? Multiple trails, for example to use it for The Flash lightning trail (CW like)

[@kingdesignerr]

Is there any plugin of yours to create basic shape animation

[@JaySureja-e8i]

how can i bake this particle and trail ? or not possible ?

[@cervellimatteo]

It’s possible to use this effect in like a vfx in a video scene with 3d camera tracking?

[@mdreamslk]

Yes

[@jakebrenneman5132]

Unfortunately, the gray particles never 'appear' for me, despite having the same Geo Node setup (as far as I can tell)🤔wish I knew what I was doing wrong. I'm on Blender 4.0

[@mdreamslk]

Make sure final node in the node tree connected to the group output node and the viewer node.

[@helencorderosa]

the grey balls appear but they do not follow the controller aaaaa help

[@takooo]

for some reason the particle doesn't follow after i add it to the simulation zone

[@mdreamslk]

make sure you select the controller object from object info node and set it to relative.

[@KisschoGames]

When i put the emission in, it doesnt glow... Somebody help please!

[@rickyy_shenn]

If you are using evee to render, make sure bloom is turned on

[@Kedium_Speaks]

same problem this fixed it..@@rickyy_shenn

[@mdaffu8040]

Pls make solar beam
