Per Particles Expressions / Controls
Hi Blender Community,I don't know exactly how the development of particle and simulation nodes are progressing, but I would like to share some thoughts and techniques I use in other programs. Like this one: I would like to see more controls on a per particle base. For example in Maya. When I create a Particle Emitter, I can set up the basic system with speed, birth rate and so on. If I need something more specific I'm able to create an expression on an per particle base in Maya(Image Attached). More than that I can create an expression as the particles spawn(like inital velocity, position, etc...) , and then there is option to evaluate another expression each frame as long as the particle simulation runs(like increased velocity in just the y-direction or whatever).

In general, it's a good idea to avoid making proposals that say "make it like X other software" because you can't expect other users and developers to have your experiences. It's best to describe the feature as completely as possible and explain how it would work in Blender. A mock-up of how it look in Blender would be much more helpful than a screenshot of another application that has a completely different way of working.
