You need a noise of size 3. You can think of that as rgb if you are used to TOPs. a scalar (size 1) - is a mono noise size 2 is an rg noise size 3 is rgb size 4 is rgba This is about how many "channels" the attribute has. and since we are working with 3 dimensions we need three directions of the noise. In pops - this can be reffered to as vec3 (or vec4 or vec2 etc) or as a float3 (or float1 or float 4)

2025-09-25 04:57:10 +0000 UTCthere are a few ways to go about that, depending on what effect you want - either you can use a shorter particle lifetime. I also uploaded a quick sketch where I use a mix statement to mix between init_p and feedback_p based on the weight attribute - so anything that isn't included by the field is in its initial positions. I also uploaded a quick fbx sketch - the fbx I used is also in the post - so just load it in to the fbx component and hit import. This might not be the best way - or even a good way - but it can be a start. and it's something I can look more into
