The information in this article applies to:
  • Particle included with Softimage 3D Extreme for IRIX, version 3.0
  • Particle added on to Softimage 3D for IRIX, version 3.0

SUMMARY

As you are working through the design stages for a desired effect, ensure a continuous flow of Particles by setting Preview to E (end). This enables you to preview the maximum number of frames during the design stages of the work. Note that the maximum number of frames is 9999.

MORE INFORMATION

You can manipulate this constant stream of Particles interactively by using any of the available tools.

Remember to set Preview back to the desired length of the finished effect when setting keyframes or rendering.
