Subject: Re: [Nuke-users] Set Initial State for Particles ?
Here's my way:
1) emit particles (set an expression or keyframes on velocity so that at a
certain frame velocity becomes 0)
in this example I am setting keyframes, you can see velocity {{curve x1 1 x20
1 x21 0}}
this reminds me to ask to Foundry to add to the ParticleCurve a "vel"
attribute as I prefer to do it there with a real curve.
2) I use a ParticleSpeedLimit to stop particles being emitted (funky way)
3) an expression on ParticleExpression sets vel = 0 after frame 20
frame>20?0:vel
4) an expression on ParticleGravity has them being affected by the field after
frame 40:
frame>40?-1:0
Have fun,
P.

If you want to elongate the freeze (taking place at frame 20 in that script),
you just have to change the ParticleExpression chans knob to tell it when you
want to place the particles in the 'b' channel being acted on by the downstream
forces.
