PRT surface particles flickering

Krakatoa for 3ds Max
1

Hi,

I’m using PRT surface to seed a disintegration effect that another PRT surface is doing. PRT surface is assigned to XMeshed, animated geometry. I’m not sure if it’s deforming, I think it’s rather not. But even when the geometry is still, some particles in the PRT surface are flickering on/off between frames, creating a very bad flicker in the eventual effect. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks,
Hristo

Would be great to do this effect just with PRTs, wanna avoid caching out the seeds with TP/PF :slight_smile:

Take a look at this example of PRT Maker + Magma using the actual face barycentric coordinates to produce fixed positions over time:

Awesome, I’ll try that out in the morning, thanks!
