Some plants and emitters don't show in viewer 2

[Bernice Galtier]

I have noticed that some plants, trees, fish emitters, and coral emitters show perfectly in Phoenix, but when I log on with Viewer 2 I can't see them at all.  I have been having to redo a lot of my landscaping and seascaping so that everyone can see what I want them to see.  Any idea why this is happening?

There is a Max particle count in Preference - Graphics.  What is probably happening is your Viewer 2 setting is lower than your Phoenix setting.  Make them the same and you should get the same results.

To your other point that you want everyone to see what you want them to see, that is tricky because everyone will have a different graphics setting depending on their computer's graphics capability and/or their choice of settings.  Some people optimize for max graphics rendering while others focus on performance and are willing to scrafice things like particle emitters for faster response.   Best you can do is create the landscape that you want to see and enjoy it!
