Scene Particle Count

[MaverickMongoose]

Hi Dr Sassi, this might be a dumb question, but is there a way to see the total particle count in my scene with the new particle system?

I'm guessing I have way too many particles because it keeps freezing up but I cant figure out how to show this, nothing in HUD settings as far as I can see.

Cheers

Hi Maverick Mongoose,

Go into Point Mode and click on the Group (the folder icon) to get the Point number shown in the upper left corner of the editor view.

If you like to have many groups at once calculated, here are three options:
• Select all the groups
• Use a Selection Object with the Groups in the list
• Place all Groups into a Multi Group, select the Multi Group Folder

CV4_2025_drs_24_drs_PAcp_01.c4d

I'm not aware that there is a default way to get a total number into the HUD.

All the best

Brilliant, thanks for that Dr Sassi, now I know why my scene was crashing, way too many particles! Thanks again!

Thank you for the reply, Maverick Mongoose, for the feedback.

If something takes too long, perhaps explore the scene with the Main Menu> Window> Object Profiler
