go to Configure or Configure All in the display windows Edit menu (not the main Edit menu) …OR… select ‘View Settings’ in the Attribute Managers Mode menu. Anyway, once you are there uncheck ‘Rotation Bands’

No illumination – check ‘No Light Radiation’ in the General tab of the lights properties

no point on the light (I assume by to sharp at one end you mean the pointy end) – check ‘Near Clip’ in the Details tab and set the From and To values higher than 0 but close together to clip off the end of the light.

well I understand the 100 = 1 on y but not the 90f = 2pi In the formula t is time and runs from 0 to 1 (0 at the beginning of the sequence and 1 at the end of the sequence) but then I didn’t understand “at a height of 50%” from the first post either – 50% of what?

that should work (using the visibility parameter in a display tag) on the object being emitted. That works with both basic and TP emitters here.

change the Intermediate Points of the spline to Uniform

Works nicely!

Scale and wind velocity seem to be related. With the default scale of 1 wind velocity was nuts until 0.1-0.2

when I cranked the scale up to 900 I was able to get away with wind up to 200 (it’s all going to depend on what your after, of course). All this was with Animate turned off just for simplictiy but animate looks like it works independantly of the scale so when I added it at the default small values it looked ok.

Sorry no examples (no time right now) but I think you need to make your grass editable. Dynamics needs polys to work with.

Are you just trying to get 4 (or 6) images on a cube? If so there are better ways than camera mapping
