I would love to see the shader for that pupp. it looks like you layered MANY images together to get the various patterns of wear and corosion. Nice model too, BTW! To answer your original question, YES! I spent 5 hours (at work, :> ) today, adjusting particles for a little animation, that I'm sure no one but me will ever see! LOL! All of 4 seconds long, but with a LOT of particles! (A meteor, dropping bits of fire as it goes, crashes into the ocean, creating a HUGE splash, and an explosion.) Tonght, my work computer is rendering what I've done to see if everything is right. tomorrow I'll create and time the wave modifiers for the ocean. Wish me luck!
