I'm not sure I understand the problems that you describe - the xml particles do particle colour, size, transparency, texture, and the gravity, fluid, and wind programs all work (which they don't in the .osg script) - I'm not aware of anything missing? Only 2 shapes are available: QUAD and LINE. I would guess that they cover pretty much all our needs; do you have an example of requirement for another shape? > For instance, the effect does not need any texture which is processed > randomly, according the OSG script.

If you could describe what is missing in your opinion, we could perhaps at least put it on the TODO list.

Let us know and we will look into it.
