Dear Thinking Particles developers,

How can i put information, like position or velocity, from every TP into a coffee node, do some calculations and then give the results back to the TPs ?

More precisely, on first step I need position and velocity information from EVERY (!) TP, second i will do some calculations and then TPs should get their new values.

How can I do that?

Here is a not working example what i mean:

The PPass is already an iterator over every particle. So you receive information for every particle in the COFFEE node. Look at the example below, it will change the velocity for every second particle.

new example

Thanks Matthias, but i think you didn´t understand me right. I want collect all the vel and pos inforamations of the TPs, then i want to do some calculations with it and finally give the TPs the new values. The Problem is to do this process within the same frame.
For better understanding look at my thread at cgnetwork: http://www.cgnetwork.de/forum/showthread.php?t=96017

And please, please give me some help or a hint to solve my problem before you will go to siggraph. If you don´t have the time, can you give me contact to another developer?

Unfortunatly it is not possible with TP to collect all particle information per frame.

Btw. you could also ask this question on CGtalk, there are some TP experts there.

cheers,
Matthias

Can you explain why is that so? Because i can´t see a meaningfull explanation for that.
Is there maybe a Workaround? Maybe with a delay of one frame or something like that? Is it a generell Problem of C4D or TP?

will do that. I thought a developer of the software could easyli answer the question. But if there is no possibility to solve my problem, it also doesn´t make sense to ask the question at cgtalk.

It's a limitation of TP.
