#Particle System

[morpholic]

Idea: Create realistic looking hair, render & bake flat to a plane, use nodes to add other texture maps. Rendered view above. I haven't baked from camera yet but I saw someone spend 3 hours making long cylinders of different sizes and manually arranging them then doing it and it looked amazing. I wonder if the particle system will look as good as the mesh version? It was much faster. 1 hour tops & that included learning the particle system.

Thoughts at this point: Gloss is too high. The hair looks kinda wet or greasy but that's kinda a cool effect in itself.

Interactive Quantum Particle Animation in JavaScript

Quantum Particle Animation is a quantum particle simulation that creates responsive, interactive, high-performance particle systems using HTML5 Canvas. It enables you to integrate real-time particle physics with engaging animations, ideal for creative coding projects, educational demonstrations, or dynamic background visuals. You gain access to a diverse set of quantum-inspired effects such as…

Version 4.3, the hair x mirror is still broken... but! After desperately trying everything to solve this, looks like I found a solution:

Use the Triangulate modifier as the first one.

Delete edit from the particle system or create a new system.

Check "Use Modified Stack" in particle system.

Now, comb it all from scratch. Finally, with symmetry!

Unfortunately, this will not fix the already combed particle systems (in my case they just disappear with "Use Modified Stack"), so it makes sense just not to touch them. But I hope it will help me with new ones!

I have a really weird problem with blender hair particles and I still haven't found any other solution than using specific blender versions, which also creates difficulties because blender 4 and 3 have many differently working things and the files are not always compatible...

Okay, the problem:

For some mysterious reason hair symmetry & mirror doesn't work for all my models in many blender versions (so in almost all my models I combed both sides separately). If I try to mirror the fur or to use X symmetry in particle edit mode, it messes the fur up (even if it was already combed properly).

It works properly in 3.6 and 3.5, and also in some older version, because I remember I didn’t have this problem when I created the fur for the very first time. But then this problem began to haunt me and I'm desperate to fix it. Nothing helps and I have no idea why it depends on the blender version.

I asked my friend to test my models on different versions too and he confirmed that everything works the same for him, even on clean blender versions without any additional addons.

The model is 100% symmetrical.

And the most interesting!

After really a lot of tests I found out that this problem is most likely related to topology/faces/whatever else that my models has and hair mirror works properly if model is automatically remeshed (it also works on a completely new object such as sphere). Which is no way because it breaks the topology and everything.

It's still mysterious for me why it depends on the blender version though.

Does anyone know what this could be? What could influence this? I tried flipping the normals, delete everything including the UV map, nothing works. I googled it a lot and found no working solution.

Finally in the clean-up and bug fixing phase of my first custom particle system in geometry nodes. Been a long road, but dang proud of this thing, even if it does have some.... uh... let's go with, quirks, from being my first attempt at figuring most of this particle/vector math stuff out :P Blender 4.0/4.1

Anakin: *taking a call from Space CERN or some shit asking him to help them fix a machine and a hard equation* -listen, I’m sorry, I can’t actually travel all the way out to SPERN (Space CERN) right now, my grandkids are teething and my daughter’s husband is in over his head, I found him crying and panic eating cake last night-

SPERN employee: No, Master Skywalker-

Anakin: *flinches, shields going up because he doesn’t want the kiddo on his shoulder to feel it* Please, call me Jedi, I don’t like that term.

SPERN employee: *through gritted teeth* Jedi Skywalker, I ask you; do you know the purpose of the machine you are helping us fix?

Anakin: I don’t know; trying to find god or something?

SPREN employee: The Higgs Boson is what we call it; but it’s essentially a way to detect the force through gravitational waves-

Anakin: Yeah, that seems about right.

SPERN employee: -and the machine is constantly tracking you. Like a constant lock on your location. It’s- we would like you to come in and do some tests, is all.

Anakin: *sighing to the force for making him deal with this AND teething twins at the same time, for the second time, even* And as I have said, I don’t really have the time to travel to your planet. Now, do you need any other assistance with recalibration?

SPERN employee: -_- no. Thank you for your time, Jedi Skywalker.

Do you ever just become overwhelmingly cognizant of the existence of evil in the world?

Like, not as a cute, devil-emoji 😈 i'm-so-naughty-i-steal-chocolate-cake-and-do-weird-sex-acts thing, nor still as a melodramatic, comic-bookish, high-absorptivity-black-fabric, soon-my-death-ray-will-destroy-Metropolis thing, but like.

Actual Evil, as a force that is real and immanent in the world.

Just pointless cruelty inflicted pointlessly by one human being upon another because they've forgotten how to be kind. Just entire systems and machinery of state and ideology brought to bear on the problem of annihilating human lives and maximizing human suffering so that small men can feel powerful. Just humans who have through trauma or conditioning or propaganda shut off their ability to see other humans as fundamentally like them.

Anyways, I joke on here a lot. I get angry on here a lot. They're both just scabs to hide my horror and my despair at the condition of humanity.

Your regularly scheduled programming will return shortly.

anyway i swept the leaves out of my garage and built a shelf and those two actions were enough to leave me too tired to do anything about the fact that now there are two shelves in my room that only has room for one of them

more particle system stuff. this time: eyelashes

[tooies]

how come whenever i do world building i always end up making it way more complex than it probably needs to be. like most people when they wanna make a fantasy world they will start like "ok let's decide whan fun new creatures will live here and what kinds if magic you can do" and i always start with "ok well i will obviously have to map out the climate zones but first i'll need to figure out ocean currents and wind fronts and also simulate plate tectonics in order to create a realistic topography for my world but first i will need to figure out how plate tectonics works and so i'll probably neeed the mass and composition of my planet and so i'll need to figure out how it formed but then i will need to figure out how its parent star formed" etc. etc. like i feel like maybe this isn't thr best way of doing this
