I have a bunch of animated instanced objects in PF. They are going round some find targets. There is a rotate (speed follow) on the source making sure they point in the right direction,

Is there a way of putting a spin on them or off setting there rotations so they do not all look the same?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Add a spin operator and mess with the variation and spin axis.

The problem Im having is the Rotate (speed space follow) is stopping the spin from working.

Im using the Rotate to point the particles in the right direction. Im trying to use the spin to make them rotate on their axis.

I managed to get what I wanted by putting animated Xform on the instanced particle. Making the instanced mesh “spin” before Pflow got hold of it. This apears to be the easiest way of doing it.

I would still like to know if it is possible in Pflow to have your particle pointing the right way and spinning on its axis whilst following something?got hold of it seams to be the easiest way of doing it.
