Hey, all -- Well, those of you who have been around for four years or so may recall that I'm kind of vertexophobic, but in addition to playing with the particle emitters today, I also tried my hand in the vertex modeler. This is what I came up with, using techniques that had been mentioned here, but until today, when I actually read the vertex modeler section of the manual, had no idea whatsoever how to accomplish. Not that tough, actually, now that I've played with it for a while.... - Dex
