Particles are going great, but for this new scene, everything is a lot larger, so the particles appear to be tiny. I can't adjust the maximum size of the particles because I'm using a radiusPP ramp, and the radius listed under Render Attributes doesn't do anything to the size of the particles. how can i make the particles scaled larger?

the ramp that controls the radiusPP can give you any size you want. don't look at the colors. click on the color and look at the "value". this is your size. it can be far greater than 1.

so you can set any size you want with the color. but the color itself doesn't matter at all. only the value.

that's one reason why HSV color modell is so great :)

so this is the method to set every single particle's size.

or do you mean the overall size of the particleShape ???

that would be an issue of speed and emission rate etc. but i really guess you mean each single little tiny particle.

okay. I changed the V to 3 and the particles are individually bigger. thank you!
