Particle System Dupli Object's Children Not Rendered I have a model which consists of a few levels of parent/child relations, with a single common ancestor P at the top. I'd like to set up a particle system which emits instances of the whole model, but when I set the dupli object to P, it emits only P.

It's going to get ugly if I have to join all of the objects into a single mesh.. Is it possible for a particle system to emit a parent with all of its children?
Group all the objects and under the particles render tab set the render to Group and check whole_group.
