super basic question on texturing particles - sdewitt108 - 05-03-2019
Hi all -
So I have looked, not exhaustively, but I have looked and can't find the answer.
When I create a new preset flow (in this instance simple PhysXtyFlow), I don't seem to be able to get the material applied to my particle reference object onto the particles themselves.
My intuition was that I should be able to control this on the "shape" operator in the "instance material override", but not matter what I try there I still get non-textured particles.
I tried adding a "mapping" operator and that did not seem to have an effect witherÂ
SO -
Obviously I am missing something basic but can't seem to figure it out.
Thanks for taking a look
Sam

Assign your material to the tyflow object.

I am tempted to just say 'Doh!, and move on.
And thanks so much for taking the time to asnwer, and of course it worked great!
BUT - it seems odd that the other two methods I mentioned would not have over-ridden the non-textured particles IMHO.
Thanks again.

Yeah that one stumped me at first as well. Seems like a bit of a counter intuitive step but oh well, as long as it works.

The material override only works on VRay instances.
