Maya Top Tip: Start Understanding and Creating nParticles

[@pluralsightcourses]

Hi @Carrie O'hara You would do this with instancing. Model out the metal shaving geometry you want, select it and shift select the nParticles then go to nParticles > Instancer. Hope this helps!

How do you change the shape of the particle. For example, I'd like to create particles that look like metal shavings.

And what if I want the particles to rotate randomly as they are produced/falling? Right now they are all coming out facing the same direction
