This extension allows you to bake the motion of particles into key-framed objects animations. (❁´◡`❁)
It can be used to:
-Drive the motion of a storm of meshes with particles
-Transfer the motion from particles to all the selected objects in Blender (of any kind)
-Particles Export into .fbx files
if particles don´t appear to be rotating make sure to enable the "Dynamic" option in the particle settings
This extension does not require special permissions.
Hello there Pierre :)
Thank you for the feedback, it was incredibly useful! Cake particles 4.3 now features:
feel free to check it out and let me know if you find it easier to use :)
Regarding rotation and baking range, both of them were already implemented:
this is to ensure that the Cake Particles baking always matches the simulation one.
are you sure your particles are rotating to begin with?
Make sure to enable Rotation and check Dynamic to true. Debugging with "render as Object" option is way easier when it comes to particle rotation :)
In any case cake particles should have no trouble keyframing any rotation in the particles. If you still encounter issues would you mind sharing your simulation settings?
feel free to post an issue on github if you need any extra help :) https://github.com/Scaryplasmon/CakeParticles/issues/new
This a a good base for a good add-on. Unfortunately it doesn't work as expected. The rotation of particles is not managed or it is in a wrong way. Some improvement that could be nice IMO:
