parray grass and animation

[voltron7]

Hello,
I've had decent luck using Paaray for grass, but I have a question.
The example I followed had the parray set so it would only show the "final/grown" grass at fram 100. Fine for stills but what do you do if you want to animate the scene? I just want the grass to always show up.
I'm going to try to post an image...


Thanks for any help

Set emit start and stop to 0 in the particle generation rollout. Set the particle quantity to total and type in a big enough number to get all of your grass in one go. Set the life to be long enough for your scene and set the grow for and die for parameters to 0.

Thank you, joconnell for the good explanation.
