Casade Orbit module Offset Constant Curve not working properly

Development Character & Animation
, ,
1

To reproduce :

  1. Create a new particle system

  2. Drop an Orbit Module

  3. Set Offset to Distribution Constant Curve and animate it to increase over the particle’s life.

  4. Tick on Process during Update in the Offset options and tick off Process during Spawn

  5. Go to Required module and tick on Orbit Module affects Vel

  6. Set Screen alignment to PSA Velocity.

=> the alignment is not working properly.

If you tick Off Process during Update and go back to Process During Spawn, the alignment works as it should but you can’t animate the offset.

Thanks !

Hi Ryn,

Maybe I’m missing the problem you’re seeing, but I’m seeing a difference between the two. Can you post a simple sample project with this setup and/or a video/gif demonstration of the difference that you’re seeing that I’m not.

I’ve got two separate particle systems setup with the same settings other than what you’ve indicated above. They are beside each other for comparison.

I’m also seeing the same behavior with my setup that I had in 4.10 as well. There is potentially some settings that you’ve set that I’ve not and an exact repro or sample project could make this easier to identify.

Thank you!

Tim
