In other words, I'm busy making an emitter that will emit dust puffs. But I can't get the dust puffs to render the alpha map when its being used as a particle for the emitter. Any suggestions? Hi guys

I’ve read this tutorial and I was wondering, if it is possible to create particles that use a plane with a texture on it as the bases. In other words, I’m busy making an emitter that will emit dust puffs. But I can’t get the dust puffs to render the alpha map when its being used as a particle for the emitter.

Any suggestions?

And if you want "black" shadows turn down the "dvar" factor in blender "map to" texture setting, otherwise instead of the shadow, you will have some sort "decal" of your texture (meaning the shadow is texture itself, with color and everything). Thanks a lot for all your great tutorials. Hi, just a note about shadows:
