Yeah, PV = Picture Viewer. You shouldn't actually even NEED an RS tag on the particle group - they should appear in render right out of the box (preusming they have appeared in the scene, lols). Tag only needed if you want additional options there, without it, it defaults to mode 'optimised spheres' I am told... CBR

@Bezo It rendered beautifully. I just didn't wait long enough for frame 20 when the particles actually enter view. It was me rushing and not using my noddle 🤣

Hi Cebera I did cache the particles but now I am looking at the project (Surface Flow) with more time on my hands I realised I was being a complete doughnut! When I was rendering the first few frames I saw no particles in the scene so thought something was wrong (why do I always suspect bugs?). Now I realised that's because the particles didn't enter the scene until about frame 20 and I was preview rendering frame 76 where the particles are half way down the blob object! I gotta learn to slow down a bit… I feel a complete particle now… BTW what do you mean by PV - Preview?

Found some fun BG at pexels.com to do some tests with trying to add my little UFO character and work on some character animation. Really trying to make this thing into a film with a few friends after we film a full trailer. We shall see!
