Particle Systems with other transparent models
Posted: Wed Jun 30, 2004 3:23 pm
Okay,
I started toying around with particle systems and ran into a problem. My environment has a model where one of the textures is transparent, the material type is: EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL. I've found that the particle systems do not appear at all if I set the material flag on the my model. If I do not set this material type the particle system works fine.
Has anyone run into this before? Any idea how to work around this? I don't like the idea of not being able to use particle systems. FYI the particle system I'm using is cut and paste from the SpecialFX demo.
Thanks,
-Brian
