    Hi all, sorry if this is a simple thing that I’m just missing, but if I want the pyro emitter to start at a later frame, not at the beginning of the animation, how is that done? For example, if i want the pyro to start at frame 140, how do I keep if from starting at the beginning at frame 0, and starting on frame 140? I’ve searchers and I’m not getting a clear answer! Thank you –

    Hello Mike,

    there is “Start emission” option on the emiter. Set that to 140 and the emiter will start on the 140 frame. Make sure to set the “Stop emission” option on the emiter a bigger value.

    Hi George, thanks for the response! I don’t see the same option in the Pyro Output or Pyro Scene tag.

    Sorry Mike,

    I didn’t understand your question correctly.

    For example, in the pyro emitter tag you can use the enable/disable toggle.

    You can keyframe it disabled till 139 frame and enable it on the 140.
