Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Do you have the particles set to self-collide? It is possible that they are colliding with each other as they are born and shooting in the opposite direction. Just a guess.

no, self collision is off. particles are just streaming in both directions.

it is set to directional. the emitter is emitting not in all directions, but only in y 1/-1.

solved. speed random attribute was set too high. and that caused two streams in both directions somehow.
