    Perhaps I'm missing something, but when I set the Material of a Particle Emitter to "Particles / Alpha Blended" and turn on fog, the particles are blended incorrectly (fade to black instead of fog color). Is there any way around this problem?

    The shader uses "Fog { Color (0,0,0,0) }", so the solution is to use a custom shader, which would be a copy&paste from the standard one, without the black fog.

    Cheers for the solution, will do that!

    Makes me wonder why they put it in like that in the first place.. Makes sense for Additive particles, but for Alpha Blended :?
