Rendering point as sphere not disk?

[junaid]

Hello There,

 

I am rendering some millions particles and usually point is rendering as disk, is there a way I can render point as spheres?
I can use instance but I wanted to keep my IFD size low, therefore I would prefer delay geometry load. If instance is the only option is there a way I can render Instance Geo and Instance points as Delay Load?

 

Thanks,

Junaid

Hi Junaid!

 

I think an actual particle system is rendered as spheres by default. The modern POPs return just points, so just convert your points to a particle system with an Add SOP.

Another way is to add a Primitive SOP and set the "Particle Type" to "Render as spheres" from the menu.
