I'm getting some strange artifacts- triangles really- with the RAIN IPAS routine. I've created a normal box from the top viewport, as big as the landscape I'm working on. Then, I assigned the RAIN.AXP to it. I changed it to 4000 particles (since the box was covering a large area), the wind left/right to 5 and front back to 7, chaos to 1. Everything else I left the same. I think the envelope was 1 – 15 – 55 – 45. The rain looks fine, but along the ground (bottom of the box) I have some rather large triangles zipping along just as happy as you please from right to left. They look nice, and cast nice shadows, but are completely outta place in this animation. (perhaps another surrealistic one some day! <g>) Any ideas? Thanks.
