Hallo,
I’m using Data Chanel - Color ( Point3 and Color tested = I know it should make no difference ) to store material color for my particles.
The values stored in are correct as I can see in Debug Mode but still Krakatoa gives me an Error “Failed to read from Point3 channel 0 in TP object Thinking Particle istream for group: KRAKAParticles”
Is there something I’m missing?
cheers,

hey Bandu,
Just throwing this out there, did you try mapping to something like mapping channel 2?(or any custom channel) I assume that you are trying to write to the color channel?
I am not to familiar with the TP+KRK work flow so I may be way off.
Hi Johnny,
yes I tried to store the color into mapping2 channel but somehow it didn’t worked till now. The problem I see is this error krakatoa is giving me
Error “Failed to read from Point3 channel 0 in TP object Thinking Particle istream for group: KRAKAParticles”
and even if I get no error on storing color into mapping2 channel, it seems the values saved into partitions are 0,0,0
( using mappind2 channel as input and color as output )
btw, is there a way to look into saved channels without KCM ?
Thanks Johnny,
Bandu
For looking at the data in a particle object, I suggest you use the Krakatoa Particle Data Viewer (found in the Krakatoa menu). Here is the documentation for it: http://software.primefocusworld.com/software/support/krakatoa/krakatoa_particle_data_viewer.php
I found a bug in the Krakatoa’s handling of Thinking Particles, so this will be fixed in the next build of Krakatoa. Thanks for your bug report.
