Hey guys, ive been digging all around, but i cant seem to find any way to make custom particle shapes.

Pretty much what id like to do, is make some bullet casings, so that when someones firing a prop gun, a shell ejects. or for machine guns, a whole slew of them eject.

Is this in any way possible? otherwise ill just figure out how to do instanced geometry particles in C4D

Can't you create a sprite, let's say 256x256 TIFF and import it?
I'm looking at the Particle Controls tab > Shape. There is a Import button (as well as an Export one which tells you what type the shapes of the presets are)

hmm i didnt reallly experiment with it myself. ill check that out then.

i was curious to know if you could like add in blurs/overlays/softlight so you could make a particle, that casts light on the rest of the scene automatically
