Minimesh Particles[solved]

[AriusEso]

Not entirely sure if this is a bug or just a feature that was never implemented. Either case it's playing crazy with my deferred renderer. I expected the particles to retain their minimesh vertex declarations and shader settings. Wishful thinking I know, but it's rather important to my renderer. Without this I have to write my own particle system . There is no function in CTVParticleSystem that allows one to set a shader on the minimesh. Of course CTVMiniMesh->SetShader() doesn't work. Attempting to use SetBillboardShader results only in expected dissapointment:

Is there any way to get minimesh shaders working on the particles( with tangents )?

Thanks.

Nevermind, was an order issue. Must set shader on minimesh before adding minimesh to the particle system.

I will add a TVParticle.SetMinimeshShader function anyway to make sure this does not happen again.
