Our first interactive POP particles (tutorial)
Added 2025-06-09 14:11:36 +0000 UTCProject file and component download here
POPs are out in experimental and it's time to get familiar in this step-by-step tutorial!
Through this exercise we learn about attributes, how to create and modify them, create lookups for a similar particle effect my previous two tutorials show, but this time all in POPs! The system reacts nicely to webcam input as well for some instant interactive fun!

I'm on a mac, so I'm not sure if this is just an experimental build issue. was this something you encountered? thank you for the help.
