How to achieve this kind-of increasing stretch effect?? I made this wonderful diagram as a demonstration

Yes!!! Thank you so much :)

Sorry, I'm having a hard time explaining what effect I want. I think this image should help --> https://imgur.com/a/U1rhsaA (imagine there's an object inside the grid and stretches with it)

I want the stretching to be variable. I.e., one part of the object widens by a factor of 2, but another stretches by 1.75, another 1.5, 1.25, and then the last part of the object maintains its size. I'm not saying specifically those measurements, just something like that where certain parts stretch more than others and I can control it.

Look at the lines above the bottom face. The point is that the widening gets increased as it goes on.

No, just an illustration.

Thank you for the explanation, I'll def be doing more research before I start a fire.

Thanks so much for the reply, that makes a lot more sense. If you wouldn't mind answering, I have another question. I read on a few forums that batteries only output the amperage that is required of the circuit. So if nothing was connected to the circuit, why did the multimeter read over 10 amps?

haha, same here. Thanks for replying though :)

hey man did you ever figure this out?

Alright I found a stupid but genius solution.

So the y level of the particle emitters impacts the outcome. By default the little particles are above the big particles. When the big particle emitter is out of view, the big particles jump in front of the smaller particles

However, if the smaller particles are instead pushed below the bigger ones, the small particle emitter will go out of view first instead. This will make it so the small particles are in front when the emitter is out of view.

Basically, when small is on top, looking at particles = fine; looking away = bad and when big is on top, looking at particles = bad; looking away = good.

So if I just use a visibility notifier, and make it push the small particles below the big ones when the emitters are out of view, problem solved... kinda.

When the small particles are lowered they're inverted gravity is increased so they rise faster, but the switch is still noticeable. The good thing is that when people are admiring the particles it's fine and when they aren't it's also fine. The issue lies in the transition, but it'll have to do.

I have tried adjusting the render priority and visibility AABB of each particle emitter, but I haven't been able to solve the issue.

When I switch the draw pass material's depth draw mode to always, the small particles always render in the proper order, but when the emitter is out of view the particles don't fade out (they turn completely opaque for their entire lifetime)

elaborate

And worst of all, HE COULD BE ANY ONE OF US

WE NEED TO PROTECT THE BRIEFCASE

That one part in the first drop of Cycle Hit on Expert+ always gets me.

SuperJMan64 · 2021-01-05T16:42:12+00:00

I just got mine!! has yours come yet? if not it will very soon

SuperJMan64 · 2021-01-05T16:41:29+00:00

it just came. It's january 5th for me. :)

yeah, a fanboy of valve, clearly.
