Particle System - Preview Window in 'Open Editor' Doesn't Show Anything

[barrett777]

Hi Everyone,

I’m new to particle systems.

I created an empty game object and added a particle system to it.

I poked around with it some in the inspector, and I can see it working as intended in the Scene view.

When I click ‘Open Editor…’ for the particle system, I get a new window that has the particle system on the left, and lets me add more particle systems.

What I assume is the preview window is a grid on the right, but it is always empty.

How do I enable this preview window to show my particle system?

I’ve tried pushing all the buttons I can see - Show:All, Resimulate, Wireframe, Pause, Stop, enable/disable Renderer, etc.

Hello,

The grid on the right is not particle system preview window, it actually is a Curve Editor. To enable it, just select any value to be defined as a curve (you can do that by clicking that small arrow to the right of the value, and select ‘Curve’) and once you click on the value, the curve will show up in the grid, where you will be able to edit it.

In the “Scene view” on the top of the window, there is a Gizmos dropdown Button. Click on it and make sure Particle System is checked.
