This section describes how to make child particles generated from particles that track their emitter so they do not track their own emitter.
Use CreativeStudio to load the sample data prepared in the following folder. " %NW4C_ROOT%/SampleData/Effect/Intermediate/ManualResource/Star_Particle/Star.cptl "
The hierarchical structure of star.cpt is configured so that particles track their emitter. On the Contents panel, check that star_ParticleEmitter emitter is displayed under the start_ParticleModel hierarchy. For settings to make particles track their emitter, see Particle Tracking Settings.
(1) Select Star_Child_Particle on the Contents panel and unselect Place in world coordinate system on the Properties panel.
(2)Select Star_Model and check particle motion while moving the slider for the Translate Y value on the Properties panel.
(3) Child particles track the motion of the model.
(4) Select Star_Child_Particle on the Contents panel and re-select Place in world coordinate system on the Properties panel.
(5) Select Star_Model and check particle motion while moving the slider for the Translate Y value on the Properties panel.
(6) Child particles are let go from the model.
For details on the hierarchical structure of particle effects, see Structure-Dependent Differences and Characteristics in the User's Guide.
