I'm looking for a Thinking Particles tutorial - I'm trying to create an object that emits particle objects from its vertices, but am having a devil of a time with it. If anyone has done something like that I'd love to know how they did it...I'm a Lightwave user just starting with C4D and have a tight deadline to create this effect.

Any help would be much appreciated! :)

The TP Point Emitter from the Object/library, as sugested by nendo_3d, is quite easy to use if you have basic TP/expreso knoledge. pay attention that it work with point selections too.

Hi nendo_3d,

A vertex is nothing but another name for point. Maya for example refers to vertices where Cinema refers to points. That's all.
