I wonder if anyone can help me out with this file on mdme_sadies' site.

http://www.peranders.com/c4d8/samples/c4d/discoparticles.zip

I just can't figure out how to render it. I've only recently started to get into TP so I may be overlooking somethng stupid, but every single time I render the disco particles scene I end up with a black image.

Any ideas are MUCH appreciated. I'm using C4D 8.1, Mac OS 9.2, 1GB Ram.

Thanks.

disco particles doens't use any geometry so it wont render if you hit the render button. i did the closest cinema could to a hardware render which is i did render preview and then render viewport. this is because it's much faster, and i cna then play around with the particles in post, as i did here.

if you want to be able to render teh particles out normally, you will have to add in a particle geometry object, and node to the network, then choose what sort of geometry you want to render, here i would imagine visible lights would be the thing.
