Hi there,

Currently I have particle instances moving along a surface with your standard goalX += yadayada.

Is there a way for the instanced particles to have their AimUpAxis be tangent to the surface they are on?

Overall what I’m looking for is a way to have particle instances stick and follow the terrain not just with position but angle as well.

Cheers,
