    This is my first foray into Thinking Particles, I’m following Noseman’s tutorial on how to make fire and some with TP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHxG_DSBKxE&ab_channel=AthanasiosPozantzis

    I’m unable to make it past the 2.20 mark, where he adds a PmatterWaves node to start emitting because when I do the same nothing gets emitted. My object just stays there.

    I tried a new file and also closing the program and restarting, to no avail.

    Is there a setting I’m missing to make the ticks visible or to emmit? I think they’re not even emitting because the total in the TP window says 0.

    As far as I can tell, I followed everything he did in the tutorial up to that point.

    Edit: I feel so dumb right now. I hadn’t converted the sphere to an editable object.

    You figured it out yourself. That seems pretty smart to me.
