Hi List,

Try again now that servers are back up.  First email bounced back. 

Let's say I need to shoot out 3000 pink horses out of a hose, and I need them to land in a pile as they would appear if that were to actually happen in real life, can I do this in XSI? 

I was trying to duplicate or create object in the particle event as particles were being birthed so I could attach them to the particles.  However, it kept crashing XSI.  I even got a friend to wire a couple nodes together in Houdini to show what I'm trying to accomplish.

Any suggestions or approach would be greatly appreciated.  Maybe there's another scripting approach that I'm missing??

Thanks in advance,
