    Hello, I've been trying to manually set the particles in the new particles system using (http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/ParticleSystem.SetParticles.html) , but the AABB box isn't being updated. As soon as the world position of the GameObject is frustum culled, all the particles disappear even though they go for hundreds of thousands of units in every direction.

    Is there a way to up date the bounding box somehow? I'm trying to do this with a sparse mesh, but I can't seem to get the UV math correct for the life of me and would really prefer to use Unity's built-in tools :)


    Thanks.

    I also have this problem.
    I am using a paused particle system with billboards to create static points/voxels in the space.

    I also have this same issue. does anyone know a solution, even to turn the culling off of the particle system?

    I'm also using a paused particle system to draw a lot of manually placed particles. But need control so I can ensure it's being rendered.
