Maya Particle paint texture map of an object


#1

Hello,
Is there a way that Maya particles can paint texture map of an object. every particle hit an object it puts a white dot as big as the particle size on the texture of the object. I would like to use the final map as Alpha for other things. I made an example with photoshop just to illustrate what I am looking for. A is original, B is what is what I want.
Thank you in advance.

You could start with a map, emit the particles FROM it, and then reverse the animation in post?

Not simple at all but it’s work :https://soup-dev.websitetoolbox.com/post/nparticle-wet-maps-5444544
