Hi everyone,

As the title state, I cannot get the Warmup time GPU particles system working in 4.12.5 but it works perfectly fine on CPU particles system. I had refered to other threads and questions asked over here but there are either no answers or just saying that we should resort to CPU particle system.

Did anyone manage to get Particle Pre-warming working for GPU particles in 4.12.5 ? Thank you !

heya Cloud!

I think its a limitation of GPU particles.
What you could do is have some initial cpu particles, which slowly fade out as the gpu-counterpart takes over and steals the show.

Would that be a thing?

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try the method you suggested. Previously, I tried to make use of Time dilation to fast forward the particle system for a moment but it proved to be too performance costly.

Once I managed to applied this suggest, I will get back to this question !
