Octane and Xparticles test

Hello,
I'm currently trying to use the mograph Color shader and the Colorizer shader to render X-particles simulations. I'm using a python effector that copies the position, radius and color of the particles to the cloner. This is still work in progress but it looks promising.

Good test. Can i have your setup to see how did you used?

I'm glad you liked it.
First thing in the morning, I will post the scene. ( i'm not at my computer)

I have no idea about the xp3 scenes.
Here is the work in progress scene. I've used "Generate Thinking Particles" in the x-particles and I've used the TP group in the cloner object attribute. In this way the number of clones are controlled by the number of particles. The python effector has a user data link to the x-particle emitter so that I can know from where I'm getting the data.
In the python effector I'm copying the radius, position and color to the clones.
In this current setup, everything works until the first particle dies, moment when the indexes of the cloner are no longer in sync with the x-particle system.
I will update this thread when I will have a finished version of the script.

This is the final version of the python effector that copies the size, colour and position from an x-particle emitter to a cloner (this version doesn't use the thinking particles).

Ahh, looking good Tom, great job with this !
Ahmet, you wanted sample scenes for XP. If you goto
http://3.x-particles.com/ , then downloads and choose 3.0 (or 2.5) you can download scenes and presets for XP. You may need to register on the website first, then reload the download section to access them but there is some quite good intro scenes to XP there.

Thanks ten, i have a 3.0 developer license. I'll check it.
