Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Particle Instance

I know I can cycle a geometry sequence through the "particle instance"

But when I just want random pieces of geometry to be emitted
that do not cycle, what is the best way?

I have tried playing with the cycle options 'age" "lifespan" etc
but I'm not confident in my expression writing skills. I'm not sure
thats even the right way to go.

ANy suggestions and/or tips would be most helpful

Thanks!!!

It's not what is, it's what people
think is.
