I think my head was under a big cloud yesterday
but now that i re tought your idea Guillaume it is what i need
i need to render more frames either way so this is the most optimal
way.

thanks a lot. hell of a workaround.

Just an idea :
With your particle player files, you could try to render several passes. First one without motion blur.
Then an other one with motion blur ON with Shutter open and close set to 0.25 for example, then an other one with Sutter open/close
to 0.5 etc...
You'll see that if you use the same value for open and close, you render something like a subframe (and without motion blur).
Last you will need to rename the frames indexes in order to merge the different "subframes passes" in one slow motion pass.
Not very simple but possible.
Hope this help.

    Hi everybody.

    I have a particle simulation already done, and the clientes liked the
    way it behaved
    now the issue is that we have to do a slow motion of that same
    simulation, we have several
    parameters and forces animated, so doing it by hand wouldnt ensure a
    simulation similar
    that the one we have. We have the cloud and some ptp files loaded
    on the
    particle player
    on another scene. There was some thread no long ago, where Vince
    Fortin
    said that you could
    put the PTP files as a clip in the mixer via the particle player,
    i have
    looked on the archives and i
    havent found a way to do it. Anyone knows how to put the PTP files on
    the mixer?

    or, anyone knows he best way to retime the particle simulation, not
    necesarily with the particle
    player?

    thanks in advance.
