i'm playing whith pImageEmitter, and i would like to perform an image a "true" particle emiter... not decompose the image whit particles... i would like to make a fx like a continuos particle emition from an alpha area of an image... it is possible?

thanks for all... ;)

It's been a while since i've tried to do this myself, but i think you want a regular emitter, and set the region to bitmap, assigned to the alpha channel.. in the controls tab, set the color to "from region".

You may have to set your particle size relatively small to represent each pixel.
