hi All. foolishly i am trying to load a particle preset on my flame. 2024.2.1 on my MacBook Pro M3Max 128gb memory . the preset loads ok, but as soon as i try and edit nodes like the light position or axis of the emitter, i get the color wheel and nothing else happens. ?? any hints please
Check if you’re in live view with motion blur enabled. If you have a large preroll on the particles it will take a while.
Otherwise I have no idea. Particle illiterate 364 days of the year. There is however, always one day a year I use them.

Hi @tbird,
Which preset are you trying to use? The way the presets are set up is very unintuitive for me. Whoever prepared them had a weird way to go about things which is not obvious. I always end up creating what I need from scratch.
I can help you out, let me know what you need.

My particle experience is about one job very 2.6 years, but one thing I often ran into when loading preset particles was that many required an image/tex file that wasn’t loading even though the required file existed someplace on the system.
