Dynamics help please - smoke

[unclemark45]

I'm trying to have smoke coming out of multiple smoke stacks in a scene. I've tried create effects>smoke and some samples in visor, but I can not get more than one instance of either per scene to animate. I can add as many as I want, but when I play, only 1 actually blows smoke. Setting I'm missing? Ideas? Bueller?

Well, Im assuming you have multiple emitters but only one working particle.  Select the working particle, shift-select the non-working emitters - go to Particles-> use selected emitter.   Repeat for the remaining emitters - your particle shape should then be coming form al lemitters.   Let me know if this does not work and we'll try something else.

You could also configure one emitter and particle shape the way you want it and set it as a preset, make another one and load those settings into it.
