[RESOLVED] Limit Particle Draw Distance

[idnewton]

If I have a ton of particles like snow, is there a way to make them disappear after X distance? They're causing FPS to drop a noticable amount, and this is a good machine.

Edit: I tried to use a cull-distance volume -- that certainly doesn't appear to be the solution, to say the least.

Haha -- short-lived thread. I found the solution. In case anyone else has this problem in the future: in the emitter object itself, Rendering, click the arrow down, Desired Max Draw Distance (I found 5000 works well for my purposes).

where ? cant find the option in the particle system

I realize the solution I posted makes it seem like it's in the in-world actor, which it isn't. My mistake.

I believe this is found within the particle editor. Maybe it's that you click in a gray area outside of the list of particle types and attributes?

For example, in the following picture, clicking where the arrow IS, rather than clicking on what it's pointing to.
