I am making the rocket project from: http://en.9jcg.com/comm\_pages/blog\_content-art-105.htm
but I am having trouble doing the color for the particles.
If you scroll down a bit passed midway through the page(you can Ctrl+F “Then click on the checker on the right side of Life Incandescence attribute. This will open create texture window. Create ramp texture.").
I already know my terrain doesn’t look correct, but that is not my main problem right now. It says the particles are supposed to expand(which they do), then go from bright orange to orange to black. as time passes(they DO NOT). Also, the particles are supposed to slowly fade away(they DO NOT, mine only dissappears).
I uploaded my maya project at here: http://www.filecrunch.com/file/~cmkvoh
All help and suggestions are highly appreciated
If it helps any, I'm using Maya 2008
