  • Thinking particle geometry to fade over life?

    Can’t puzzle this one out. I can get the scale to change over each particle’s life but not it’s visibility.

    thanks for help

    Okay, got it!
    Animate the display parameters of the material.

    But doesn’t that fade all the particles at the same time? Which display parameters?

    Hi Adam,

    Sorry, didn’t make myself very clear, I added a display tag to the particle geometry. Works a treat with the individual particles fading in and out correctly for my needs.

    These particles all have the same life duration.

    Adam, as a newbie I’m genuinely flattered!
