Hi,

Could anyone help me with a walk through on how to get Mantra to render sprites?

I'm slightly going in circles trying to follow the documentation.

I've basically got some point geometry with a sprite sop on. I just want to get it out to Mantra with a constant shader on it.

Thanks

It doesn't work how I remember it. I thought the spriteshop attribute assigned the sprite shader, but it looks like it only works if the sprite shader is assigned at object level.

Funny how simple it is when you know what goes where

I suspect bit-rot has led to this feature not working as expected.
