Combining two effects?

[justdefied]

Hi so I’m new to this whole particle engine thing. I was messing around with TimelineFX editor and I wanted to see if I can make an eye. (eg: Think like a cats eye). With a circle and an oval inside the circle.

Now the easiest way would be to combine two effects but I tried everything and I guess TimelineFX can’t support it?

So how would I go about doing this?

Also for the sake of not starting another thread. What are “Containers” and how can I add them to my emitters? I see them in a few of the premade effects but I don’t see any way of adding them to mine.

Thanks in advance.

You can do this with sub effects, and the containers you see in other effects are just how you do it. All you do is create an emitter and check the single checkbox on the particle tab. Then you can create an effect within that emitter. You can do that as many times as you want and and have as many effects in one effect as you need.

You can just set the containing emitter’s alpha or size to 0 so that it doesn’t show.
