I am using particles in Ogre 2.1, the old particles works great =D, But I am editing them "by hand" via C++ and scripts. There are some old particle editors around, I have never use them, but the output script should work just fine for 2.0+

Ohh that's cool! thanks for sharing Xrgo! I'll have a look.
Btw, I take what I said about particle accelerator back. Its indeed very useful, but lots of bugs.
Again, thanks for pointing those.

Just to let you know, I am using Particle Universe and it is now working in my engine properly (previously I only got it to compile, and run its own demos). At the moment I am only aiming to get Billboard renderer to work correctly, although the others may works!

Ohh thats good to know!
iam using particleAccelerator and is working fine, Its a 2006 app but it does the job.
I'am having some performance issues with particles in ogre 2 but I can work with it.
Have you set a PBS material to your particles ? I wondering if we can cast/receive shadows for the particles.

, all using unlit. In theory if the particles had a normal map then they could be lit and receive shadows. Casting shadows however is a lot more complicated.The plan will be to get the new particle system merged, and then work on the Particle HLMS to provide these sort of features

Errr.... Iam struggling to make particles look good in a mix of open and closed environment. I need at least to have it lit and receive shadows. Otherwise, particles during the day have a completely different look then night.
