Does not work, clouds and etc do not move.

Pretty neat, slows down SFM a lot but it's worth it Lol.
(Just hide the particles once you're done posing until ready to render)

is there any way to get the trees to sway? im trying to find any sfm model that does that, and i cant get them to.

I love the clouds! Thank you for the particles.

Any tech savy users know how to make the clouds "gently move" to like clouds sometimes do in high winds?

@Agent8 In one discussion, they said it was because these particles are outdated. Here is that short discussion: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1840/discussions/0/2741975115070764760/

is it normal for the wheat to be moving (and I don't mean moving in the wind, I mean moving like a wheat army)

Most of the particles do not appear at all.

Please make a Fog one

these are all lovely thanks but (like Paladin Quantin asked) why does the rain particle only last for five seconds even after editing its lifetime value ?
Seagull Nov 13, 2016 @ 9:47am 
Can someone please explain how to use this, I can get wheat to work but I can't see any clouds.

Why when i spawn rain particle it lasts only 5 seconds and then disapears even when i change everything

Stuff like grass

Which particle system are you using over the world brushes?
Fitne Por Apr 14, 2016 @ 9:12pm 
Are you sure the particles follow world brushes?
SapphSky  [author] Dec 21, 2014 @ 7:01am 
They should be in workshop/particles as env.pcf
strawbunny Dec 20, 2014 @ 10:32pm 
Where are the particle effects located? I can't seem to find them in the usermod/materials folder
Mays Oct 13, 2014 @ 8:55pm 
nvm, Something happend after i clicked "accept" in the particle editor. and the objects ar\e in their full colors
Mays Oct 13, 2014 @ 8:53pm 
How do i fix the Particles from being black when i see them when they spawn? Like as sooon as i refresh the timeline, the Particles show up but there all black objects.

Looks great so far, but it would be really nice too if you could update it with some "ash" particles - from fires, for example. Thanks!
SapphSky  [author] Apr 26, 2014 @ 10:36pm 
I've added a material to the trees that will allow it to cast and receive shadows from light sources.
Malcis Apr 26, 2014 @ 9:25pm 
Particles aren't my field of knowledge, but is there a way to make the created particles affected by light sources?
AiurJordan Apr 25, 2014 @ 11:42pm 
Just what I needed! Thanks so much :D
The Sneaky Muffin Apr 25, 2014 @ 7:47pm 
Do you have any idea how much time this'll save me? TONS! :B1:
SapphSky  [author] Apr 25, 2014 @ 5:47pm 
The particle system is capable of rendering models for effects. This is used to create a mass amount of trees in your scene so you don't have to one by one. You're welcome to edit the spawn number and range of them in the particle editor.
If I didn't answer your question fully, I would suggest looking here .
Kibōchen Apr 25, 2014 @ 4:40pm 
How are particles able to spawn SOLID OBJECTS like the trees you just said about? Can we just make the trees ourself?
SapphSky  [author] Apr 24, 2014 @ 8:57pm 
I have updated the particle systems. As well as included new ones. The rain effect has been removed until I can get it working properly. Hopefully by tomorrow!
Lucid Apr 22, 2014 @ 8:11pm 
These particle effects are great for sprucing up a scene, thanks for putting these on WS. I do, however, have a quick question regarding the emission duration, which I can modify value for in the "edit particle systems times" window, but does not actually modify the duration time in shot. Is there any other way, beside duplicating the effect itself and changing the start time on each particle system, to have continuous rain?
SapphSky  [author] Apr 22, 2014 @ 6:46pm 
Added a video demonstrating the flat and volumetric clouds. See which one you like better!
Kibōchen Apr 22, 2014 @ 1:00pm 
I have no idea what the ♥♥♥♥ this does.

It'd be nice if you included a video of it being used. Just so people know what to expect more.
