Emitter Library not showing up

Continuum
#1

Hi,

I downloaded the add-on particle emitter library to supplement _sampler.il3 and I ran the installer but the new libraries do not show up. I have rebooted, run-as-administrator and manually copied them to the user library directory but still do not see them in the PI app. (Standalone or OFX/Vegas)

How do I get the add-on libraries to load in PI?

Thanks!

Also have tried reinstalling PI and the emitter libraries is various orders.

What do you see in the following folder:
Program Data/BorisFX/Emitter Libraries

That’s where the additional emitter libraries are installed.

If you have many files there, they should show up in PI – there’s no special action required.

#4

All of the .il3 files are there from the additional install, but they don’t appear in PI. I have rebooted and restarted PI trying to get them to “register”. All I see is the samples library which is also contained in the directory.

#5

So you’re not even seeing the “Custom.il3” library inside PI? After you install PI you should at minimum see “_Sampler.il3” and “Custom.il3”

Check the “Help” box in PI – what version info does it show?

#6

Correct, I do not see custom. In fact I did not know I was supposed to. :slight_smile:

This is on PI version 12.0.4 either standalone (Windows) or from within Vegas Pro.

Found it, I had an old subscription for Continuum so it was saying my version was up to date, but was actually old. I manually installed stand-alone version 13 and I now see the other libraries.
