I need some to have some particles spray out of a nozzle. Being a XSI newbie,
there are some things I've done in other programs I'm having trouble achieving.
How do I have the particles or the billboards grow in size with age? I thought
that the Age% in the "Characteristics at Birth" section of the ptype would do
it but I don't see any result. Is there a handy dandy expression for this or a
way to attach a gradient to dictate size in the render tree?
Likewise with transparency (the particles need to fade with age).
thanx in advance
