Speed animation not kicking in
Dave asked 6 years ago
VERY simple set up. I have a grid that I am emitting once on to “Flood the grid”. Basically creating a cube. I want the speed to be 0 until 2 seconds to hold the shape of the cube, so I set a speed key frame to be 0 at 2 seconds. On the next frame I set the speed to be 500. But I get no animation. If the speed is set to 500 without the key frames it works fine. I seem to be finding a lot of these issues where things wont animate like they logically seem like they should. Cany anyone point out to me why what I am doing is incorrect?

Hi Dave, these keyframes are for newly born particles, all the basic properties are for the ‘Birth’ State, to control the particle over their life, you can use one of the many ‘Over Life’ Graphs ,such as speed over life, or you could apply Motion Path, Manipulators etc’ I would recommend to see some tutorials on our tutorial page.
