I wanna emit particles form .tga image with alpha channel, but if I just import the image and the transparence part seems become white. How can I emit particles with the image color and not keep the mask(alpha) part clean?

by the way, in the attachment file, I also tried to kill particles with white color, but it always keeps some of them there. anyone knows why?


thanks

Your targa attachment isn't working. I quickly made my own. Also have you looked at http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1423&Itemid=132 [sidefx.com] ?

In the attached hip file are two ways of doing this and there are many more. Node column to the right uses scattered points to avoid a really dense grid due to the slowness of the pic() function. Have a look through it, post questions if something isnt clear, don't have the time now to explain it in detail. Good luck
