Huh, it actually looks like my reply wasn't posted for some reasons ( because I included images maybe? )
Rob's solution is viable but doesn't take into account the fact you may want more than 2 shaders on your particles. You can always play around with multiple "Color Switch" nodes but depending on your needs it may prove bothersome. Try using a "color multi-switch" node in the render tree, and create an integer attribute rather than a boolean in your icetree : http://olivier-colchen.fr/Data/Misc_Sreenshots/example1.jpg http://olivier-colchen.fr/Data/Misc_Sreenshots/example2.jpg 2015-04-29 4:15 GMT+02:00 Kris Rivel <[email protected]>: > Sweet...thanks Rob!
