Hi Vincent, I have a particle system in my scene, which starts emitting particles at simulation time = 0 (endless). Then, at an arbitrary simulation time, I want the scene starting at simulation time 0 again. This works well except for the particle system, because it begins now with another shape as in the first run, by and by getting the expected shape with increasing simulation time. I tried setting several parameter combinations (life time, reset time, re-reading the scene before every run...) and with some combinations I had the problem, that the particle system started correctly out-of-the-box again, but the old particles did still exist. So one idea was to destroy the particles manually... ... which works in the way Serge suggests, but then no new particles seemed to be created in the following run. I would be grateful for any hint!

A particle System works great without killing particle manually... what do you expect from it ? Vincent. 2008/3/20, Serge Lages <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi, The best way I found is : for (int i = 0; i < _emitter->getParticleSystem()->numParticles(); i++) { _emitter->getParticleSystem()->destroyParticle(i); } Yeah, it's a bit tricky, but it works... :) On Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 9:12 AM, Wiedemann, Rudolf, OPS3 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, how can I reset a particle system, so when rendering the next frame no old particles exist any more, but only new particles are emitted?
