In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Hi There,

Simply set some keys on the emitter so that it emits the particles then stops after 1 frame. Make sure that the particles lifespan is set to live forever.

Should do it for you.

Cheers

Steve

Thanks, just after I posted, I thought about key framing.
