Re: multiple shaders on one cloud
would that work in redshift? I did not think it like the placement of shaders.

Re: multiple shaders on one cloud
not exactly like that only because Redshift does not support every native render tree node and not sure colorswitch is supported. , I used colorswitch only to demonstrate example logic, Oliviers' demonstration would work equally as well with the redshift material blender which can accept multiple shader inputs and some additional logic from integer color to plug into blend Color for each shader.

Re: multiple shaders on one cloud
I guess the stupid answer is to use instances and have them assigned to different shaders :-/ But would be cool to know how to do this with straight particles and no instancing!

Re: multiple shaders on one cloud
Maybe you could set some custom integer info to different portions of the point cloud and use that to mix different shaders in the material?
