really nice animation!

referring to the answer to iSOBigD: does it mean that you placed manually the big box and that the actual particles are not forming it? because i really cannot manage to make them form the big box!

@LHLH80 it's a trick really, all the particles that comes in are landing at a pre-determind position. basically i made a bunch of boxes that looked like one big box, and each particles takes the tansformation matrix from each of the little box geometries that i placed, then i spawn them somewhere else, and tell them to come back to the position that was previously saved.

Very nice. How did you keep the particles from overlapping? Using "Keep Apart" or something else?

nop, the shape was already built, and the particles are just coming in and landing the the boxes that's manually placed.

Ah ok. I thought you had made them adapt to any shape to make them more dynamic.
