For Eevee: You have to put the gradient into the info node and then you have to connect the gradient Fac to an object info node. That's it, you have your random particle colors in eevee! (For 2.9 users)

@gvidasbrilius2385 5 жыл бұрын

@@harv3yquinn531 yes it did, I used quite little samples, just enough to make the depth of field look good and the particle count was 69000 but the amount of particles barely made a difference in render times. I think it took such a short time to render is because light doesn't bounce off of objects which have the emmision shader so the samples count can literally be 1 (I think) but of course that's not including depth of field which requires more, but it still didn't make a big difference. I also used Linux, which makes renders about 20%-40% shorter compared to windows.

Hello! Your tutorials are extremely helpful. I wanted to ask if there's a way to color the particles based on their position (either distance from origin, or say, distance from z-axis). This would be beyond helpful in scientific simulations. It'd be even greater if there's a way to color these particles based on some calculated quantity (say, particle's momentum or energy) via the python console

@Blender Made Easy How do you manage to select the particle ico and emitter ico separately? I follow the tutorial as close as possible but no matter what the particles and emitter are always selected together when I click. Meaning I can't click on the emitter without selecting every particle too.

@BlenderMadeEasy 4 жыл бұрын

The particles are attached to the emitter so whenever you select the emitter icosphere it will also select the particles. You can hide the particles by going over to the modifier tab and clicking on that screen button. If you are trying to change the material of the particles you need to select the particle ico sphere that we created at 1:20. Does that answer your question?

Double check that your math node is set to divide and also that you are in cycles. You could also check your handles on the color ramp node. If you have 1 handle all the way to one side you might only see 1 color. Try moving them around and see what happens. I hope this helps!
