Hi

ideas for 2 new op, I don't know yet if it's possible to do it, but it could be nice :

- FromRender op : same as FromMesh or FromVertex, but from a rendered mesh (yellow op) - the difference is that yellow op can be animated so this new particle render could be dynamic - the particles will follow the animated vertex pos.

- enhanced Chunks : which can take a rendered mesh as input. same idea as first - chunks with animated mesh.

I'll see that next week...

for the second idea, I found a way to fake it with render target, it works fine

Yep. Through using a Billboard Camera and RT as Texture input for Sprites I presume?
It must be good for the FPS :)
