Different clothes? Particle guys
- Thread starter uncle808us
- Start date
I don't understand this how will this work to get different textures on each guy?
I'm not very good in the node editor. Thanks
I was hoping to get away with only one figure.

* There is a thread entitled Particles w. different colours which explains this.
* The logics is quite simple, really: the gradient node is fed by the instance node, thus different hues are applied to different instances of the elements in a particle mesh.
* In this thread, Frank has also included a screen shot which shows this in the node editor. I have copied that into this thread.
* A great example of the serendipitous
tongue: another great word to throw around in the pub) joys resulting from lateral thinking.

Where in this example would I place my texture image? Sorry to be so dense.

This solution will get solid colors. You want an image on it to?

Yes as you see in the OP the guys have textures faces etc that I would want to change on each instance, I have gone ahead and just created individual figures to make my crowd scene.That way I can pose each guy differently.
I don't think what I wanted from the OP is possible anyway.

I don't think what I wanted from the OP is possible anyway. But Thank you for the offer of help and the density comment, very witty.:smile: :icon_thumbup:

Differentiating particles
I was recently trying to figure out how to make particles more diverse, either randomly or with precision. As usual, I made a couple of pictures to document the process for future reference. I attach them here in case anyone else might find them useful.
Random color material:
Instance Random + two gradients + (E.g.) Voronoi
Particle Tag + Instantiate color
Random Position/Rotation/Scale:
Particle tag
Precise Position/Rotation/Scale:

Sorry it took a while: I got side tracked.
The clothes are painted on textures. That is why I need different textures on particles.
Not sure if this ever been solved.
If you could go away with a polygon selection (you might need to scalpel new edges for the clothes and the rigging is obsolet then in this chronology, because new geometry destroys the joint weighting - as you know) - you can assign a new material to just that selection and add instance+gradient nodes to alter the colours on that particular part:

Thanks Frank. I'll give it a shot.I want to save the bones though.
