Not really a new user but this seems like a good question for this section.

How can you animate a streak emitter's emission rate over time.

For example. The explosion Material that comes stock on the CD looks great. However, it just ends with a big explosion. Explosions eventually have to stop exploding if you will and Icannot seem to figure this out.

Thanks,

Wade

Wade,
You do it in the Chor.
Click the more properties thingy (usually has a red line through it).
Navigate to the group containing your emitter, then to the material for that emitter.
You can then change the emission rate in the chor.

Hope this helps,
David

Yes, what he said...

Here's a picture of the thingy... It's the "Show more than drivers" button:
