Blob Mesh with PRT loader?

[ruffstuff]

I can’t seem to use a PRT loader with the blobmesh object? Any reasons why?

Because the PRT Loader does not produce any geometry?
You can work around by creating a PFlow, loading the PRT Loader’s particles into it using the PRT Birth and Update ops, and BlobMeshing that.

We have an inhouse particle mesher which is thousands of times faster than Blobmesh and works directly with PRTs (it can also turn particles into vertices so you could run a Blobmesh on top, but why would anyone? ) There are some discussions about making it available in the future.

By loading it into PFlow, you also have the option of loading a channel (or using another operator) to set the size of the particle, which can be handy for Blobmesh.
