How do you get the particles (not the snake itself) to take on the shape of other meshes (birds, spider, etc)?

[ColeZero]

This dependson the blender version you are using. If you are using at least the 2.46 you can find a "Visualisation" block in the particle settings, there you can switch it from point to object. In the OB: Field type in you mesh you want to use. Another way is to parent the mesh to the object with the particle system and then select DubliVerts in the object options.

Yupp, because i wanted to create a kind of dramatic effect. It should appear to be fast. But i think you are right, maybe a bit to much movement.

Thank you for your comment.

yeah despite what others say, your camera movement is brilliantly done and adds a lot to the shot. Very cool use of the particle effects!

Awesome effect but totally ugly camera XD...

How much time did it take to process?...

[BMAnnArbor]

What fields did you use?

[marcogugo]

i was thinking the same, the camera enhance the way it moves (therefore great job)

I have a few questions:

How many particles did you use?

How long was their lifespan?

Which fields did you use?

Thanks
