Objects and physics not being rendered

Question

I was working on a scene with 2 groups of particles that were supposed to collide with an object.

I set the physics on the "collision object" to collision, in the preview the particles did collide, also in the render preview, but strangely in the final render the particles just went through the object.

I then started to watch tutorials to see if I did something wrong, nothing. As I'm kind of new in blender, I don't really understand the functions of some features, so I tried to bake everything and started messing with the cache in the particles settings.

Finally checked if the problem was in the particles settings or in the collision object, so I put another plain emitting particles into the same scene, still colliding with the object but with different settings.

Again in the preview everything was ok, also in render preview, but in the final render (both animated and only picture), neither the new plain nor the particles emitted appeared.

My conclusion is that the problem, has nothing to do with the particles or the collision object. I don't know if it's possible, but I think the final render is working with a previous version of the project.

I already checked the camera option in Cycles settings and the camera icon, that's not the problem.

Answer 1

Instead of using "collision" for the collider in the physics tab, use "rigid body" and uncheck "dynamic" (in the photo "dynamic" is checked)

and make sure it gets rendered.

In the particle tab of the emitter set Collision Group on RigidBodyWorld (it should appear if the collider is set as Rigid Body).

It should work.
