Certain things not working

[guy123]

Hello,

 

I just got a one year subscription, and when i try to do flocking, for example if i right click, select flocking, then birds, it creates the flock, but when i drag a model to 'Shortcut to Birds' the models don't show up. This is the same with crowds and swarms.

 

Also, I cannot create volumetric effects, when i right click, choose volumetric effects, then any effect, the wireframe circle shows up, but nothing can be seen in shaded mode.

 

Please help, thanks.

Aside from the wireframe guide, volumetric effects *don't* show up in shaded mode. They are effects that must be rendered in "final" mode to be fully seen. You can quickly test out a small portion of your screen by doing Shift-Q and Right-button dragging a bounding box around the area (the effect perhaps?) you want to test.

Anything show up when you test render?

 

I dont' know about this one, but as a general tip a more specific topic title than "Certain things not working" might get you more result since people generally only read posts that catch their attention and the person who knows the answer to your flocking problem may not bother with something so ambiguous.

Make sure particles are turned ON.

It is version 15.

 

I rendered the volumetric effects and it did work, so thanks for that.

 

But I still cannot figure out how to make a flock.

 

 

P.S. is there anyway to change the title of the topic so it attracts more people as suggested?

Done!

Do you use the final-renderer(blue-button) or the progressive renderer (green-button)

I've tried both the final-renderer and the progressive renderer.
