Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 5, 2011 Hash Fellow Share Posted April 5, 2011 First attempt. These are streak particles whose color goes from white to orange to black over one second. the emitter rate is animated in the chor to make it go on and off sparks.mov They need some glow to look brighter. I'm not sure if streaks can "glow" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
