Particle help
Got a quick question. I dont care how or which one I use.. as long as it works.
How do I turn a particle into a "shell casing"
I am animating a toon shooting a gun and I need a few shell casing to eject from the gun. What would be the best way of going about this? Tried looking at nParticles, but.... I cannot figure out how to change the particle into a shell..
How is this done? anyone?
Than s

Allow it to shoot out some particles
Select your shell casing geometry
Shift select the particles
Particles > Instancer (Replacement)
Change options as necessary.
Hope that works for you.
Edit: For more info, such as aiming, look in help manual "instancing geometry to particles"
