<![CDATA[Can't get 3d particles to work]]>I'm following this guide on 3d particles:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_2iX1NI4Ps

and I'm doing everything he's done, but can't get particles to appear.  One youtube commenter said z translate has to be -100, and so I tried that and got a single particle.  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? How can I get more particles?  See screenshot below:

Thanks!

I used the HSBA actor and had a productive evening. 
I will also add here (because of the reference to Graham's tutorial above) that the 3D Render actor has been replaced with the Virtual Stage actor. 
Thanks

But to get a similar effect with only one slider attach a "Color Maker HSB" to the fill color and connect the slider to the hue input.

Version 2 added Alpha support to all colors. This has changed things just a bit.

All worked well then. 
After an Izzy update (2.0 I believe), the colors would only change to dark blue and black. 
Now I tried to recreate the same scene with GPU 3D Particle actor, but have the same problem.  When I move the control knob, the color immediately changes to dark blue or black. I cannot see any way to adjust the parameters of the color selections. 
I can click directly on the box and manually change the color, but not with the midi controller.

I couldn't see everything in your screenshot; and its a big actor so it was easier to create it again.

Did you click on some of the snapshots? It should help understand what's being done.

Use the snapshots to change some values.
