Just wanted to say thanks, I also found those to not be really working, but I then dug around in the shader sdk and found
$maxdistance And $farfadeinterval And those solved the issue!

The spritecard shader lets you set near and far cull distance, with fading, as well as control the max/minimum screensize of the particles. You set these options in the .vmt. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Edwards Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2009 4:47 AM To: Discussion of Half-Life Programming Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Culling particles in a system when the local camera is x units from the system? There's a "maximum draw distance" value further down the list.
