Hi everybody,
I’m trying to get instances of object with particles without success. I add a cube and a grass. Add that grass as particle hair system for the cube, i have a green cube with 3D grass. Now i try to put 1000 of those cubes random placed on a plane with a particle system, the cubes are instanced but without grass. What am i doing wrong ?
Thanks
Please ALWAYS attach or link to your blend file !!!
yes sorry here the blend : particles.blend
Your posted blend file is corrupt, it will not come up on my 2.64.
But you may need to add both your cube and grass to a group and put the particle system in to group mode instead of object mode.
I did that file on official 2.64a (from fedora official repo)
It’s just the default cube, copied, then “cube.001” as object for particles render on “cube” particles system. Then a default plane with particles, with “cube” as object for particle render.
cube -> particles with cube.001
plane -> particles with cube (but on the cube instances, no cube.001 particles)
i uploaded it again, i’m on linux but it shouldn’t change anything…

I downloaded again from the new link, and it succesfully opened, do it’s not a corruption in the upload. If it still doesn’t work in official 2.64 on windows, then it maybe a bug report ? Saved with compression.
Hi Atom,
So you couldn’t open the second file ?
Nope, same kind of failure…weird?
Your file froze my Blender on OpenSuSE. I could load it however without the UI.
I got that idea to test a particle emitting object as particle but I hadn’t tested yet. After having seen your scene, I think it’s safe to say that it’s not possible.
hmm, it’s waird yes. I post a bug report then for that file, then we will see for particles.

In case someone can give more infos on it.
There was a problem in OpenGL drawing code, Brecht fixed it, so there should be no more problems with this file in upcoming 2.65…
yep, thanks for the fix. So can someone tell me how to get those particle render ? It works in mitsuba but not cycles or BI where only the cube without it’s particles is instanced.
