Particle system doesn't render but shows in 3D view Not sure where I am going wrong. The render setting is turned on for the particle system, but it still doesn't work when I render the animation. I'm sure it's something straight forward, but I can't find out which setting isn't correct. Where would be the next place to look? It's just a simple piece of text with a particle system. Thanks!

Create an object with a material and shape you want for the particles and assign that to the particle's Dupli Object section.



I added a green sphere on a different layer and selected it as the particle's shape.
