Hi Julian,

thankyou very much for the reply and the level of detail provided. Much appreciated.

So if my instance is a sphere it should work shouldn't it? I will have another look at my ICE setup to see what I'm missing. Good to know that other shapes won't work, makes sense now that you've explained it.


Hi Steve,

Ah. I see what you're saying. Yes, if you're using sphere instances it should work fine but you need to then draw a distinction between your spacing size and particle size. Since your instances will probably have their size baked in e.g. a radius of 0.3 then the actual size you want them to be instanced at is 1 so that they're not scaled. In Dart Throw you'd use a spacing size of 0.3 and for your particle size use 1.0. If you're randomising your sizes in Dart Throw you just need to set the size of the particle to the ratio of output size to input size. I've put an example here showing instanced spheres and internal ICE 'Shape' Spheres where you should be able to see what I mean:
