This is probably an easy question.
If I model some leaves to blow in the wind how do i duplicate them and scatter them on the ground?

I think your best bet is to use the particle instancer.  You can model a dozen leaves or so, and with the instancer you can use particle dynamics to drive them.  There’s a very good description with definitions and instructions in the help docs - just search for “particle instancer” and it’s topic #360.

Hey! Thank you for your reply. I dont have a computer “except my phone” until the end of the week. I built it with a friend and there were some glitches in our connections.

In the meantime I could check the Internet to see what you are talking about. Thanks alot!

Just curious. Are you working on any projects right now?

Very cool. I googled it and as I understood I can use it to mirror the leaves. Do they inherit the textures as well?
