particle depth.

How do I control depth sorting in particle layers?

I have a moving crowd which is out of depth order, some of the layers are incorrectly placed in front of others, causing a tangled mess.
can I fix this?

hmm. This ones got me, each layer in the particle grp should act like any other grp where the top layer is in front of the layer lower than it. Could there be some kind of animated layer order on?

Question.

Are all the people in the same particle grp or are did you maybe dup the layer and have 3-4 different particle layers of the same people?

There are four groups, yes, but they are very much separated, in space none are playing on top of another.
definitely first thing I 'sorted'.

DUDE That was the most realistic animation that I've seen anyone do on Anime Studio!

(Excuse my getting a little street there on the comments. lol It was just that stunning to me.)

Thanks datawraith , although that's an example of when it all goes horribly wrong, I have deleted the vid it was really only to illustrate a problem.
Hopefully I be able to show some half decent stuff soon.

to be honest, It's blurred enough that I never noticed what you were talking about.
