Hi,

I need some nice bubbles for a nearly finished illustration, so I've checked out
the "Carbonated fluid bubble generator" from the objects collection.


I just dumped a camera and two area lights and a background into the scene (see
below) and added the lines with the example from the .inc file.

However, I can't find a single bubble in the rendered image (tried to fiddle
around with the camera position and lights abit, but still I don't see
anything).

Any suggestions, what could be the problem?

Thanks a lot,

Simone
