I can no longer see particles in Particle Playground

Sep 16, 2012 7:34 AM

I have been creating files in particle playground for months now, but suddenly I can no longer see the particles displayed in the viewer. It is as if the particles have no opacity and they are invisible. But the opacity is at 100%. Why can I not see the particles in particle playground anymore?

    And using what method? Grid? Layer Exploder? Cannon? You need to be more specific. Provide screenshots of the settings and the comp.

    Thanks for responding to my post.  I appreciate that.  In terms of method, I'm simply just trying to see particles emit from the red circle in the center. I merely made a red solid, and then Effect>Simulation>Particle Playground.  I moved 8 seconds in the timeline to demonstrate that there are not any red particles emitting. The particles seem to be invisible.

    Any chance this is an OpenGL issue of sorts? What are your comp preview settings? Otehr than that I could only imagine a blank property map being assigned somewhere, but it really is strange and I'm at a loss as to what might actually be going on...
