Particle Movement Help

[shamanyouranus]

Hello, I am trying to make a model, but can't get the particles to move right. Could someone make me a model that has four particle emitters that spiral up, and kind of spread out, than come back in? Like this:

Example

Thanks in advance

That's not linear movement,it's hermite (or bezier)and you'll also need a program, different from magos to make the rotation animations (i'd use notetrack ... if i didn't have milkshape )
quote from Will in his tutorial on how to use hermite movement.

Hermite also works well, but I prefer using Bezier.This type of translation will be useful for making a big circle of fire as the base of our nuke. We could just make a large square emmitter, but this is a hell of a lot better... and a hell of a lot more complicated.

Couldn't you just attach the particles to bones, and animate the bones?

Oh so that's your question?
Yes. I answered this as if you where a lil bit less noob ;p

 

[shamanyouranus]

Uh, ok
So can you do it?

You only need two bones for this, one bone for the spinning particle, then just add two keyframes that rotates it, and then another bone, goes up and rotates. It's really simple.

So i could if my request is done yet
it's been 2 months you know.
It's not that hard to animate those bones attached to the particle emmiters ... just look up the tutorial about notetrack and download it there.
