Is that so difficult whiout being a Mel know-it-all ?

I'm just want my cloud to fade out after a few second by setting a animated Ramp (with 1 color) in OpacityPP => White to Black

and nothing happen...

Is it because I get a cold this week end that i missing something or anything else ?:D

thanks guys

Hi ,
With , the particleShape cloud , you must use a particleCloud material , and if you want use the opacityPP , you need to plug a particleSamplerInfo in the lifeTransparency of your shader ! ;) ( and of courses check that your particles are not in life forever)
And it works .. ^^

or you can directly plug a ramp in the lifeTransparency , and you will see , maya will plug a particleSamplerInfo who will drive your ramp along particles lifespan .

Hope it helps

Perhaps you can remake your scene , or check if you have only one particleShape in your scene !
But i never seen thing like that, so ......
