Hi,

 

here's an updated script in jscript

there shouldn't be a problem using 800-1000 particles.

xsi crashed sometimes, but after a restart it then worked.

it also depends on the length of the plotting frames. try to plot only the frames you need.

because the fcurves also take a lot of memory.

 

what sometimes helps is to temporarly put your undo-steps to 0.

don't forget to change back!

 

and create a button on a custom toolbar. executing from the script editor can be very slow.

 

cheers,

 

Juan

Hi guys...

I'm looking for the script that Juan-Pablo Brockhaus wrote and called
** create_null_on_path_from_particles.vbs **
I'm having curve creation problems / limitations.

I fear my version of his script has been edited in the past so I'm looking for
a clean version to check. Any one got it? or had limitations of being unable
to create curves beyond 800-1000 particles. Added more memory - it didn't help.

I've altered the sim to emit less but over longer time, and it dies before 1000 particles
can be released. Any similar problems?

Thanks
Keith
