Initial Color not changing particle color?

I’m trying to get a particular color for my particles using the Initial Color module but no matter what I change the XYZ values to the color seems to always stay white. I don’t really have a way to use a color from the materials editor and would like to avoid that altogether.

So, any ideas on how the Init Color works or how I can make it change the color of the particles?

Do you have a Particle Color node in your material? You need that in order to be able to change the color via Cascade.

That was it! Thanks!

There are more of these coming in the very near future. Forgetting Particle Color is a pretty common error :slight_smile:

I made the same mistake, instead I used Vertex Color as that’s what UE3 used to use. I didn’t know it was Particle Color.
