Adam, Brian, thanks for the input. Brian–I opened your file but something’s funky–none of the objects display unless I render the scene, and when I checked the Random Effector settings, under Falloff Shape, the field is empty. If I change the setting (selecting, say, Box) with the drop down menu, the scene appears.
Is there a plug-in you’re using that allows you to assign a cone shape in that field, that perhaps I don’t have? The only module I own for C4D is Mograph.
