OK, I updated to AB 4.2.2 but it did not solve the scale/color over time problems I'm having in AB.
I'm trying to do a fire/smoke setup like the AB Tut3 tutorial.
If I do the AB Tut3 tutorial regarding the explode daemon, all works as expected... the particles grow from small to large over their lifetime. Likewise, the color changes over the lifetime from fire to smoke (orange to black).
But in my actual scene setup, (if I turn on the 'Show in Viewport' button) and scroll through the animation... the particles never seem to change size. Also regarding changing color, when copying the exact steps that were used in Tut3, the particles never switch to orange early in life to black late in life.
These are not exotic setups at all... at this point, I am just mimicing the steps used in Tut3.
(I am trying to make a simplified scene that shows my problems but haven't had success yet as when I do a 'Save Selected' from the actual scene, the resulting scene has a wacked PFlow setup... trying to get this sorted).
Any idea what I'm doing wrong when trying to mimic Tut3?
Thanks!
