Particles To Point Geometry

Method #

This node renders a raytraced sphere for all particles. Although it is not geometry like a primitive, the sphere will correctly simulate lighting and material shading the same way as a 3D object, and a Material node can be added for greater control.

For a particle system that only needs small points or spheres, this node can be faster and higher quality. for a wide variety of shapes, use the Clone To Particles node.

Emissive Materials can be connected, but will not emit lighting. If needed, look at a Clone To Particles workflow instead.
