Geom Instancing emitter?
 

Hi,

I'm making an asteroid field so I modeled a few asteroids. Now I need to instance them with an emitter, but I can't seem to find any docs about how to do that. Can anyone recommend a good tutorial on this? Also, is it possible to have the emitter randowmly choose from a list of objects rather than have to make multiple emitters?

Thanks,

You might want to read about Particle Instancer in the docs. Also here's an alternative way, which I used in my Blood Cell animation: http://forum.simplymaya.com/showthre...&threadid=6495 - Might give you some ideas...

Hmmm, not really what I'm looking for, but I just found this tutorial and it may be just the ticket.

Thanks anyway.

hehe... he's using the EXACT same thing m8:)

The only difference is that the Boris tut also explains a random rotation expression, and a collision event expression.

FYI: lots of expressions can be found here as well:

Good find, so it is up to you. Same technique, different execution.

Have fun, and lets see it when you are done ok?
