Hello everyone! I have just begun to use Carrara 2, thanks to my Digital Imaging class. I litterally just began useing it, like a day or two ago. Through my random screwing around in the program i found the particle emitter. I found this to be escpecially interesting and was messing around with it, but when i went to render the colors shown on the previews and what have you were not there. The particles were just grey squares. I asked my teacher if this was a mistake of mine, perhaps missed somthing, and he replied that it was an inherent problem with Carrara. When i got home, i downloaded the Carrara 3 Demo and once more began to dicker around in the program, and i found the same problem with Carrara 3 and no colored particles. I can put shaders on them and stuff, but this isnt achieveing the desired affect as much as i would have hoped. I am reaching out to all those with greater knowlage than i. Is this an inherent problem? If so, why wouldnt it be fixed in 3? Thank you for your time!
