Particles on imported (animated) mesh?

PostFri Mar 11, 2016 11:30 pm

Hi there!
Im Dennis Fassbaender, and im doing vfx for hobby yet.
Im trying to learn how to use fusion, and how to get a good workflow.
While trying things a had the 1st problem.

How can i add a 3d-particlesystem to a fbx-imported animated mesh?

FBX import worked well - the animation of a "flying sphere" looks fine - but i cant find a way to add a particle system to it. I want particles to leave a trail.

Can you post the comp?

Just select all your tools, copy and then paste into this forum in a 'code' block.
That way we could set it up for you to demonstrate.

There are too much charachters to post here (board message)... i upload the compfile.

What i did:
The "emitter"-mesh moves along a path. I´ve exported the complete scene out from blender as fbx-file (ascii). Maybe that is a problem?
Any other way to export a path animation out of blender?

The pEmitter should have a mesh region option. That would limit emission to the surface or volume. I'm not in front of Fusion right now, but check the region tab.
