strand shape and turbulize aren't working

2015-07-02 Thread Kris Rivel
I must be missing something basic here...for some reason when I use the
display strand shape with turbulize strands node plugged in too...I get
turbulized strands but no shape. If I disconnect the turbulize, I get the
shape. I want both! Am I doing this wrong? Also...strand twist doesn't seem
to work? I'm emitting particles, having them flow along a curve and I want
to turn them into ribbons...flat ribbons with a little turbulence and
twisting.

I think I solved it. I guess things like twist only work on create
strands not generate strand trails. Using the simulation root and
turbulizing the strands after the simulation seems to work.
