love this very detailed in explanation

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

No matter how big I make it, I cannot get the balls to show up, i tried making it as small as possible and still max i get is a big blob, no invidual spheres, any clue why?

[@Uhr24]

sorry, i have no educators license of MAYA at this point; so i cannot help you. autodesk changed their educator license policy.

Hello, thanks for the tutorial, I tryed but my mash it doesn't move at all..dunno why..(maybe I don't have enought ram, or graphic card memory??) but when I llounch the vide it give me this warning message: Nucleus "evaluation skipped, frame change too large", what does it means? thank you very much in advance!

[@Timoshka3D]

Great tutorial!! However when I do, it the Polygons aren't in the same position as the particles were before... does anyone know the solution?

Thank you!

[@Gates2Aion]

how do I get that Nucleus?

[@Uhr24]

i don‘t understand the question. the nucleus comes with the nParticle.

[@methlokaijufan9729]

Wtf I did exactly the same thing it says "no Nparticle nodes selected"

[@monetharris27]

What are you stuck on cause I’m stuck too

[@chrisvalentin6644]

Hi Thank´s for your great tutorials ;-) Do you have a tutorial about how to replace particles with let´s say birds flying around. (is it the same work/technic as you showed) And then I want to export out for an fbx file (or another file many) I want to take it into Nuke. I am not sure how to render it out properly? Can you please help ;-)

[@Uhr24]

chris, thanks for your comment! unfortunately i don't have time to get into this. new things are coming up, and i have a limited time slot for doing my tutorials. please consult the autodesk maya AREA. it costs nothing, and it's very helpful when it comes to specific questions. ----maximilian

You can replace the Particles with geometry using instancer.

This is the tutorial I used to create the bird flock kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4jSd6JrbZ2kn6c

[@wheeler6768]

Did you manage to export the birds? I'm struggling with that at the moment, I can't get the convert 'nParticles to Polygons' to work for some reason, so I don't know how to export the birds
