blender particle experiments - 1.000.000 cubes
for this blender particle experiment I made a particle system containing 1000000 cubes
I didn't upload the blend file this time, because its very huge but easy to reporduce.
I added two cubes and a plane. The plane is a collision object One cube contains the particle system, the other one is used as a particle object.
In the emmision block set "Emit from " to Volume use Grid.
Set the resolution to 100 - et voila - 1000000 particles
I've also set the particle size to 0.01
