Figure 13.19 shows the position.
Figure 13.19 Move the wind effector at frame 160, over on the x-axis.
11. At frame 240, move the wind effector up a bit more on the y-axis, about 500mm,
and back on the Z-axis about 500mm. Figure 13.20 shows the position.
Figure 13.20 Move the wind effector up on the Y-axis for frame 13.20 and back on the Z-axis.
12. Click on the smoke effector to select it, and then change its Life Time setting to
300. Because the path wind is now dragging the particles, you??™ll want them to live
a bit longer.
You see, the point here is that you can work through your particle animation and
make changes to key factors such as lifetime, velocity, and others at any point.
Your settings are always adjustable.
13. Finally, if you find that your particles sort of hang around at some point, there??™s a
chance that the path wind is not large enough to carry them all. So, all you need
to do is select the second wind effector and then enlarge its radius. If your particles
jam up in any area, you can adjust the position of the wind effector.
14. Tweak, adjust, experiment, and then save your scene.
The path wind feature is very powerful.
