Hey everyone
does anyone know how to render particles as anything other than the default? F.e as disks or volume spheres in Solaris?
In the regular rop context this is easy. You can simply change exactly this in the Arnold render properties tab on the geo container.
In solaris you have to use the "rendergeometrysettings" node as far as I know, and here this option is somehow missing.

In solaris I only see the option to change how curves are displayed. The tab for particles somehow just isn't there.

If anyone knows any tricks please let me know

With a Render Geometry Settings LOP under "Geometry" you can set "Render points as" to either Discs or Oriented Discs.
Not sure about rendering them as volumes though.

Same here, the answer above is misleading and is not the solution.
