Just trying to use the particle age gradient controls in the Particle Density node. Use Gradient is on, Density<>Age Mix is set to 1, and the default spectrum gradient is on. Age Start and Age End are 0,1 respectively. The particle stream has a max life of 1 with no variance.
However, the gradient starts at .5 and makes one iteration to 1 in one direction and another iteration to 0 in the other i.e. it starts half way up the particle stream.
If I have a max life higher than 1, the same sort of effect happens but the gradient starts at midlife and only starts altering colour at the tips of the particle stream.
Am I just using this incorrectly?
