Particle Tracing

Question

I'm trying to trace a particle system but I haven't had luck. The options i'I've tried are:

Path: Under the render tab in the particle system.

But it needs a keyed particle system and when I use a keyed system, it doesn't behave the way I want.

bTrace: https://vimeo.com/192873201

But it Works only with a small amount of particles. It takes ~10 min to trace the path of 20 particles and I need at least 100 particles.

I made the same node setup and it does not work and when I use the .blend that Jimmy Gunawan provides, I get some weird results:

I don't know any more options to get the result. Maybe liquid? other add-on? maybe I made the node setup wrong?

Thanks for your help!

bTrace would ahve been my first option too. Otherwise have you looked into addons like Animation Nodes, or Sverchock? Not sure they do tracing but might be worth a shot investigating — Duarte Farrajota Ramos, May 28 '17 at 23:42
Hello, yes. That was my last option but it has some weird results. I'll try to investigate again. — Bejuco, May 30 '17 at 00:46
@Pierre Puentes, if you want help with particle tracing, i suggest supplying an example .blend of a particle system that does the things you want. it's easier for me to then show you have to trace the particles using Sverchok. — zeffii, Jun 13 '17 at 08:18

diggin old thread, but.. the path option doesnt need a keyed particle system, but keyframes, so you need to bake your simulation to cache. see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWOAuA6nqJc
