I’m having lots of trouble with a custom element generator node. I can’t seem to annotate my new particles with two other attributes passed out of my custom node (a 3D vector and a float radius.)

How do you Set Data on particles created with “Add Point” from a custom element generator node? For instance, size, color, etc. Is this possible to do right now?

Thanks,
Jamie

No responses. :( I have gotten an answer elsewhere that this is just not possible without trickery, like initting magic values for position then updating them in a second pass. I’m not sure where to make feature requests, but this would make Element Generator nodes a whole lot more useful.
