Animated Influence

[oatz]

Hi, I’m working in a scene where I have multiple PRT loaders in a Frost mesh. At the start, I want one of the loaders to not participate in the mesh. So far, I’ve thought of

1. Animate the radius from 0->x

or

2. Animate float from 1 -> 0 input to selection with a Krak Delete modifier.

Is there a better/preferred method for this or is one of these two better than the other, computationally?

Those both sound reasonable to me, and they’ll be similar in terms of efficiency.

If you don’t need the particles at all, then you could also use the “Limit to Custom Range” controls in the PRT Loader.
