Aim instanced geometry

 
 
 

The following general procedure is a way to aim instanced geometry.

To aim instanced geometry

  1. Orient the geometry so the front points along the x-axis and the up-direction points along the y-axis.
  2. Group the geometry and instance the group.
  3. Set the AimDirection or AimPosition options to the direction you want the instanced objects to aim.

    For example, set Aim Direction to Velocity to aim the instanced objects in the direction of movement. See particleShape node for information.

    The choices in the General Options popup menus include all the per particle attributes. You can control the motion of the individual instanced objects by animating the per particle attributes that control them.
