...
- Create a standard particle emitter of your choice ("Square", "Circle", "Triangle", "Sphere", "Cylinder", etc.) as the particle source.
- Add a "Container" node to store the tracer particles.
- Important: Use exactly the same "Resolution" for both emitters.
- Set the emitter's "Type" to "Dumb".
- Decrease "MAX substeps" to 20 under → Simulation options > General.
- For better results add a "Noise Field" daemon and set its "Strength" to values around 3.
- Display the "Container" node's particles as spheres: Container01 > Node Params > Display type > Sphere, and change "Size" to 0.015.
