Texture Emission With S/w Rendered Particles

[lejuan]

Hi, I have done a brief search of these boards and not found anything, but if it has been addressed just let me know and I'll look harder.

My problem is: is it possible to apply texture-based emission to software rendered particles? ie so that the particles take on a material's colour values in the same way that hardware particles can by using texture based emission?

Or should I be looking at achieving this in post? I specifically need to use blobby particles.

cheers, lejuan

...er, I found this from 'Aaron' - "If you're using software particles, add the ParticleSamplerInfo node in the color swatch of the shader."

I'll give it a crack!

It's possible , first is the same thing with the hardware rendered particle,then you check Inherit Color in the emitter,add rgbPP attr in the particleShape Node,then assign the material to your software rendered particle,create a particleSampleInfo Node ,connect its rgbPP to the material's color channel:)
