you can move the Axis with the Axis Tool or use the Modelling Axis Tab in the Scale Tool’s attributes

does it crash if you try it from a different user account?
-
probably you are going to have to change the mapping of the texture (in the Texture tag) I’m guessing Flat will work for you.
-
You are looking at the effect of the Phong tag. Without it you see every polygon even if you want a smooth surface. In this case the it’s smoothing too much, just reduce the Phong Angle in the Phong tag.

put the Particle Geometry object as a child of the Metaball
-
in that I’m just using a custom shader (noise) in the deformer but you can use your texture tag you already made if you want – just choose Texture Tag in the Displace Deformer. But *don’t* put the texture tag on the sphere or it will displace the sphere twice and it still won’t look right, just put the tag on the deformer if you are using the texture tag method.
-
if you have MoGraph you can use the Displace Deformer so the displacement gets done before the Sketch and Toon like this:
-HyperNurb
– Object (a sphere probably)
– Displace Deformer -
you can also use Shift-RMB

There were some plugins for standard particles that let you do that but without those (I don’t think they are available/work with the modern versions anymore). With TP it’s very easy, you want the PDeflector node. There are tuts available and you can do a lot just checking out the TP presets in the Content Browser – if you don’t have those they’re on Maxon’s site in the Downloads/Materials and Goodies -though from v11 onwards they should be on your install DVD. Try dropping in a TPStandard emitter and a TP Object Collision and an object to reflect off, the object has to be polygonal, and drag the object into the TP Object Collision/Collision Object attribute. Getting it to work inside an object will mean aligning the normals the right way and/or setting the PDeflector node (it’s in the the XPresso attached to the TP Object Collision) to Front Back or Two Sided. All of it can be done with a single XPresso tag if you are making it yourself and not using the presets FWIW.
