Preventing culling for particle systems?
Hi everyone,
I'm having a pervasive problem where my camera is positioned 'inside' of complex a particle system containing several million particles (completely enveloping the viewer). It works great, except that occasionally the particle system is erroneously culled from the view (resulting in the particle array being cleared, and IsAlive becomes FALSE).
I need to prevent the particle system from being culled, or fix the culling behavior.
I'm using Unity 4.1.2f1.
Thank you for you help.
With kind regards,
-Sebastian.

Put the particle system on a child object to camera, set it's position 5 units in front of the camera, and then change from Local to world coordinates in PS component. Works fine.
This worked for me, but this can't be good for performance, right?
Brilliant - so simple. I thought I was going to be stuck on this for hours
