Particle Multiplication ( Like Germs)

[blank-]

Hi,
I am trying to create a heap of particles(spheres) which keep on multiplying randomly from the previously generated ones. Basically I want to show germs multiplying, spreading & forming a heap.

Thanks in advance,

you must use expressions with a little bit of mel in it.
my spontaneous idea is this:

CODE
float $pos[] = position;

if (frame == 20) {

emit -object particle1 -position $pos[0] $pos[1] $pos[2]; }

This should give you the idea...

Thanks. I'll try & figure it out. But is there any plugin since I hve to generate thousands of them.

Just try the expression - it generates an infinite number of them if you wait long enough.

Ok, after you changed "if(frame == 20)" to "if(frame%20 == 0)" -> this will split every existing particle in two every 20 frames instead only at frame 20.

I dont think theres a plugin, since its too easy to do without one.

thanks a lot .
