2.5 particle display question

General Forums Blender and CG Discussions

hey all,

using 2.5 build 26168, it seems particles (particularly hair) have a kind of x-ray display mode (you can see hair through an object).

can this be changed?

Maybe you have X-Ray option turned on for emitter object which has particle system?

3

nope. imported an OBJ file and added a particle system. all display settings are default

okay, update…

it’s only in particle mode that you can see the strands behind the object
in object mode they display correctly

okay… problem solved, there’s a little “limit selection to visible” toggle at the bottom of the screen
which now occludes the strandes.

BUT

now the combing brushes run incredibly slowly
