Thank you!
Is it already available?

Not yet, but if you need this feature now for a project, I can send to you a custom build with it.

Thanks,

I'd love to get access to that custom build if possible!

Sam [at] ThinkParticle.com is my email.

I'm excited for the implementation!

Thank you for your hard work.

This is the build:
https://render.otoy.com/customerdownloa ... _Win64.zip

In the plugin folder, there is a new "tex" directory with the texture maps, one for the RGB color and other for the alpha. You only need to enable the new feauture, And use the texture map to shade the particles.

You are going to need to remove the OBJ spare parameters and add them again to see the new particle options (if you are working with an old scene)

In a 4k map I can only store 6bit RGBA (64 level in each component), but should work fine for near all scenes.

Hi Juanjo,

there's a new production build out (15.5.523), could we get a build for that one? I'm asking because apparently if fixes a bug with custom Desktop setups that crash Houdini at start - and at least in my case the octane plugin always stores the last setup as xyz.desk (Technical.desk in my case) under the octane\desktop\ folder. And that causes Houdini to crash every time until I manually delete it.

Cheers!
