Hi, I´m trying to make a trail from the back of a F1 car so it draws lines as it moves. The car comes from Max and has the animation baked. The problem I have is that I can´t get a perfectly curved trail, instead I get a straight line of particles for each frame that all behave in the same way. So when the car steers I get a line perpendicular to the emision point instead of a curved line. I think the problem comes with the baked animation, the car is moving to fast from one frame to another.

I have tried to cache the particle with a simulation time of .01 frames but I still get the same problem. I also tried to duplicate the timespan for the animation from the timeline so there should be some interpolation between frames, but still the same.

Any help? Please!

may be the emission speed of the particles is too much or may be u need to work on the conserve.. sorry cant tell much without checking the scene out..

I´m afraid that is not the case… but thanks
