I come from Art7, which means: no particles, no animation.
I ordered C4D8 EB, and am now trying out the demo.
As you know, there comes no documentation with it. Would anyone be so kind as to explain how to get Pyrocluster working? I did download the manual of P. but I suppose I miss something on particles. I get a preview in the small pyro window, but nothing renders.
Thanks.

you have to make an Environmnet Object and a PyroCluster Volume Tracer material. put the Volume Tracer material on the Environment object, and then your pyrocuster material should render ok (works best on an emitter). You can also put the volumetracer material on an object (not the environment object in this case), such as a cube or whatever, and any pyrocluster objects that pass through that object will appear within the object only (hence the example of the fire in the text).

Thanks for the reply.
I will try it out as soon as possible. (Anxiously waiting now for the CD's to arrive: I do need some documentation)
