Thinking Particles support

[jhjariwala]

Hello,

I don't know if chaos vantage supports livelink with tyflow particles or not.

But I use thinking particles a lot. And It would be nice to have direct support in chaos vantage. Is it planned for future?

Regards,
Jignesh

Hi, thanks for posting. As of now Vantage does not support particles. We have this reported previously to the developers under LAV-578. I will add your thread to the list of clients requesting this feature.

Hi jhjariwala,

As Vladimir said there is no direct support for particle shading in Vantage, but there is a workaround - as long as you are able to mesh those particles, using tyFlow for example, you will render them in Vantage.

Best regards,
Alexander

I got it working by exporting alembic files. But direct support would be nice.

One question though : Is tyflow support is direct support?

[Alexander.Atanasov]

The same applies for tyflow - If the output object is meshed then yes, you can render it in Vantage, if it is a particle - then no.

Best regards,
Alexander
