how to render fading out particles?

[skip_odforce]

Hi all,

 

Could anyone tell me how to render  fading out particles?

I set a simple scene which included a particle system(created by selecting a sphere and then push the source particle  button in the Particle shelf).

Then, I added a popcolor node to set the color and the alpha  and rendered it.

It still shows full particles without any transparent effects( or fade-out effect) except the dead particles.

Scene view is not the same as render, if you want to see your alpha in scene view; multiply your color by your alpha in a point node.

 

$CR * $Alpha | $CG* $Alpha | $CB * $Alpha

Thanks for your reply, I want to get not just view port but also render result with fade-out effect on "point" particles.

Try the constant shader from the gallery, it uses point alpha and point colour so should work. And show you how its done. You can transfer that to any other shader.
