Hi,

i was just wondering if it's possible to replace the particles with geometry in maya. i saw a script that seems to do what i want but it's only for maya 1.X on irix(??). i need one for maya 4.x NT. has anyone done this before?

Thx

What you want to do sounds like particle instancing. Look it up in the docs. Heres the steps if you want to use a single object.

To instance a single object to particles:
1
Select source geometry.
2
Shift-select the particle shape.
3
Select Particles > Instancer (Replacement).
4
To hide the source geometry, select the geometry and select Display > Hide > Hide Selection
