Particle Info Node¶
Cycles Only
The Particle Info node can be used in the material node tree for objects that are used as the instancing objects, when you use Object or Collection Render mode of a particle system.
This node gives access to the data of the particle that spawned the object instance. It can be useful to give some variation to a single material assigned to multiple instances of instancing object.
