Blender has a particle physics component which defines the way that esoteric substances like smoke or fluids (or, by extension hair, fur or blades of grass) behave. The calculations are baked and cached on disc. This is separate to rendering which, in blender, uses a number of different rendering components, some of which can use the GPU or the CPU. > Is there an example that you can point me to that is similar to what you are > doing?

When I start Blender I get an error message "OSError: Python file '/opt/blender/reset_excepthook.py' could not be opened: No such file or directory". When I run Blender's GUI, there isn't an issue and it doesn't affect the program. However, if I try to start Blender without the GUI, it aborts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
