Phil, Right now assigning image maps or textures to the individual particles is not supported. The only way to assign attributes to particles is by defining them on the object that will be particalized as you mentioned. The overhead in memory required to render say 5000 particles, each with it's own image maps is just too great. When virtual memory is put in, this issue can then be tackled. -GreG
