So let's just see what we've got. And we'll begin by just pressing play and we don't really have to play for long because all we're doing is generating particles on this ground object, which is here. We have an emitter which is generating the first group which are our seeds. And that's all they are. And the seeds have no speed or anything like that so they are just stuck onto the object anyway.
