Hey everybody! Thanks for all your help so far I have run into another wall.
I have particles emitting from an object that overtime I want to change to the various colors of the rainbow. However I have only got this to work with Hardware Particles and when rendered they look terrible.

When I change my particle type to Software particles each particle is a rainbow not a solid color that changes over time. How can I get this ramp to work for software particles.

Below is what I want to look but achieve with software particles and not hardware. Unless someone can give me some info on making hardware renders pretty!

For HW particles try turning on color accum and use multi point or multi streaks emit 1000's see what you think. With SW you have to connect up the particle Sampler node for particles to change their colour over time.
