Particle system doesn’t appear unless I turn off camera
Posted by Clayton Light on November 14, 2010 at 1:49 amI’m using a VCP Plug-in called Sure Target. The camera moves to 4 places.
When I add a particle system I can’t see it unless I turn off the eyeball for the camera.
Am I missing something obvious?Clayton Light replied 15 years, 6 months ago 4 Members · 4 Replies -
