Particle nodes in 2.9 / how / where

Support Particles and Physics Simulations
#1

good day community,
I am somewhat familiar with how the particle nodes work in one of the experimental 2.8 branches work
(using the bParticle modifier) from 2019

I am now trying any of the blender 2.9 builds, have located the simulation nodes and can’t find many of the known nodes. particle type is missing for example so i cant even get a simple emitter going.

is it just not complete and the current builds don’t include a working version or has the method changed?
I’d appreciate if anyone could point me the way
looks like i am missing something fundamental here…
many thanks

particles nodes are not yet ready for “normal” use, hence why they are in “experimental” mode, you can follow the current development here:

yes, thank you.
I’m checking this site every now and then and thought that the existing nodes would at least do ‘something’ (basic emitters etc) - I suppose i have to be more patient.
thanks again

just for the record, as others might wonder too, one of the devs confirmed that particle nodes will not be included in 2.9
