Particle Mesh Baking Tool - Lite

This is a tool that bakes the data needed for a mesh based particle system! 

Simply import a mesh, select the desired number of particles, and export the baked particle mesh!

Then you can bring the particle mesh into Unity (or any game engine) and apply a Particle Mesh Shader to drive the particle system

You can also download a basic Fire Particle Mesh Shader + all the basic shader nodes you need to build your own Shader!

Particle Mesh Data - 

Vertex Position = Particles Object Position

Vertex Normals are per particle and based on the parent mesh's vertex normals

UV0 = Particle Surface, 0 ->1 UV space

UV1 = Particle ID / Random Value 0->1

UV2 = Copies Parent Mesh's UV0
