Hi I am probably doing this all wrong but basically I have a rotating cube in front of a backdrop and a Particle Emitter between the two
The idea being that I can create a Star Field effect by using the emitter command and have a rotating cube in the foreground
The only trouble is that I can't figure out how to get the particles to appear behind the cube.
They always seem to appear in front no matter what I do.
Anyway here is the code
Any ideas how to make the star field appear behind the object please?
