[Bf-committers] IPO curves mapped to particles life.

[malefico]

Hi all,

In 2.4x, you could animate the material of a particle, let's say, Halo 
Size, Alpha, etc, and this was mapped to the particle life. So if you 
animate from frame 1 to 100, you would have that range mapped into the 
particle life. This is great to make particles fade out when they are 
about to die, etc.

Now I have tried to do the same in 2.5 but so far I had no success. Old 
settings just don't work, the material animation is mapped to global 
time, regardless of the particle's life. Is there a way to make this 
work ? or is it a current limitation of animation system ?

Here's a sample file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3217451/gotas.blend

Render it in 2.49 and 2.50 and see how differently it works.

Thanks in advance !
