How do I change the color of particles with lamps? I want my particles to change colors with lamps, but when I shine a lamp on the particles, they are still white. I made the lamp color purple and increased the energy of the lamp, but it didn't work. Any ideas?
To make your particles "physical objects" make a mesh off scene that you want your particles to duplicate. Then, in the particle menu, scroll down to the "Render" panel and check the "Object" box. In the text entry box select you duplicate object and you're done!
