    How can I spin an entire particle system? I tried using particular and attaching it to a light and spinning the light but that just rotates the emission not the entire system. And the spin function just spins the individual particles. How do I control the whole thing. Is it even possible or would I have to fake it by moving the camera around the system? I this article where they spun particles but it was with the cc particle world filter:

    I tried that but it appears to lose it’s 3D look. I’m trying to make a tornado with particles (not like the one in the cow tutorial section) but a realistic looking one. Any ideas?

    … use a 3D software to create your particles… heck, create the whole tornado in a 3D software for best effect.
