I watched Dan K's video on how to edit a strand in a model. Part of the video talked about how to make a star model that had different star sizes in the same model.
I have stars that have four different sizes in each star and since I had different models for each star at the time, I thought this would be a GREAT way to reduce my model count by 12 models ( I have 4 stars, each with 4 different size stars). so, I deleted my star models and replaced them with the star model that Dan talked about... WORKED GREAT !!
However, in versions later than 4_0_28, the new star model is broken... pictures attached...
So, for now, I'm using 4_0_28...
