Hello,


I have got a textured grid.

How can I let my particles emitting from this grid, inherit the color of the texture?

Example: red part of texture emits red particles, green part emits green particles, and so on…


thanks,

In order to have your particles inherit the color of the surface they are emitting from, you must have applied a point color attribute.

In this example, an image is read in through a file COP and, using the ‘pic()’ function, is projected onto the grid using the bounding box X and Z values as UV coordinates. This transfers the colors to the points on the grid and allows particles to inherit them. The shader afterwards merely applies a material shader that understands the point color attributes in order for the color to be rendered.
