Render tyflow particles as points - Mr.Max - 06-13-2024
Hello ,
I'm looking for a way to render tyflow particles as points ( with fixed size in pixels) .
I'm using VRay but I'm willing to use any other renderer that support proper Stereoscopic 360 Rendering too , Krakatoa as far as I know won't work for this .
To explain more about the use case, I'm simulating a Nebula with millions of small particles, so I don't need the geometry shape ( less ram /cache size)
and from other side I want to get the dense feel from far a way while it fade slowly when the camera pass through it .
something like this :

I can fake it by using scale proximity with the camera , but the issue then is :
1-the cache size is too big for the 5 minutes animation I have
2-I can't reuse the same sim multiple time as it is linked to a specific amera motion .
I've tried using VRay proxy with Alembic point cloud export option and I was able to get fast render and very low ram usage but unfortunately even tho I'm using "Point" render mode under VRay Proxy settings , I still get Disc shape.
I've tried exporting as PRT then using Phoenix ParticleShader but it was way too slow to load/render and couldn't get the look I want from it
Any help would be highly appreciated .

I know it's not an instant solution but Redshift have just announced point rendering support in a future build.

Thanks for the Heads up! I will check it out and ask the developers if it is anytime soon.
