Dynamic Paint Controlled Particle Emission
Jan-26-2012 
10 Comments
This time I was experimenting with idea of Dynamic Paint being able to emit particles. Since this isn't possible with any official release of Blender I coded a basic system to try it out.
Here is the result. You see particles "painting" holes into the wall, and those painted holes creating more particles:
However this is just a highly experimental hack built on top of Blender's current particle system, so I'm not going to release the code.
But you can take this as a preview of what's coming whenever the new particle system becomes available. Then I'll start working on Dynamic Paint support right away. :)

cool demo!
i tought it's possible to set texture to affect born "density" and that it will make the same behaviour

Thats one of the biggest problems in current particle system: you cant. Emission textures or vertex groups are only calculated in the first frame of particles. So using "animated" textures/weights simply doesn't work. :(

Another puzzle demo, how in the world Miika did it! :)
You said that you Python code it?

This looks very promising and the showcase is also a very good chosen example (great usecase). I am really looking forward to see more.

Hi, I am woundering do u know of a way to make the rain paritcle work in cycles cause it wont work with the current version and i was woundering if u know how to do this, because i am working on a short animation film and rain is a key element in my movie and i was woundering if you could help me.
Sinecerly,

As we say in the USA, "You are a Rock Star!" The programmers behind Blender are the heart and soul of the Blender software. Keep up the awesome work.

Wow ! That the king of effect I want to do the first time I see you nice tool Dynamic Paint. Somebody know if developper works on the news particles systems ? Particles limits in Blender is a real show stopper for many things.

That is cool I wonder though can you make the higher holes stop before the lower holes at leaking the fluid. Keep it up. The review thing was a pain so couldnt do the 5 stars lol cya
