Exclude some particles from mesher (but not from simulation)? - kodra - 17-04-2024

Is there a flag on the particle that I can set to make it been excluded from the mesher, but not from the simulation? In other word I'd like the particle to be simulated, but hidden.

Hi,

I guess you're talking about Obi 7's fluid surface mesher? Not currently, particles belonging to an emitter are always meshed.

You could however have a second emitter with no surface mesher component, and mix its fluid with the first emitter's. That would give you particles that are simulated but not rendered (those of this second emitter). Not sure if this would work for whatever your use case is though.

kind regards,
