Particles are not emitting from object

[Anonymous]

I've been following this tutorial on making rain in my maya animation. I can make it work in a fresh scene, but it doesn't work in the modeled and animated scene I need it in. I make the plane, size it, and then when I set nParticles -> emit from object and press play noting is emitted. 

I have a Malcom v002 animated in the scene, objects with ai standard surfaces and lights. 

Again the frustrating part is that in a fresh scene I can get it to work, but I can't figure out what's stopping it in my real scene.

Hi!

Please upload a scene-file.

I feel a bit silly, but the solution was one of those things that's obvious in retrospect.

I didn't have it visible. Hit show, and check nParticles, for any beginners like me who get stuck in this situation.

Thanks for reading and replying!
