Is there a way to make maya not calculate my particles while I'm working on another aspect of my scene? Can I tried putting them on their own display layer and turning it off, but it doesn't seem to work
uncheck Modify/Evaluate Nodes/ Particles
is there a way to do it for just certain groups of particles? Say I have multiple particle emitters and I want maya to only calculate one.
you can select the particleShape and under Node Behavior set it to blocking or in the Dynamic relationship editor you can break the association of the emitter to the particle
