Hey guys, I recently followed the tornado tutorial on 3dbuzz and I was wonderring if anyone knew how I could render out the points into visible geometry. I tried using a copy sop but it didn't come out good, thanks for the help, sorry if this is an obvious question.

Look in the Render tab of any Object node and you'll see a Geometry parameter set to “Geometry As Is”. Switch this to “Render only points”, and also make sure you have a point attibute called “width” on your geometry which determines the diameter of the rendered points.

This will render points facing the camera - unless you have an “orient” vector attribute on the points.

Hope this helps,
Jason
