I have now added in the 3rd mesh of s106 and I'm using a separate set of particles to test out the look parameters I've developed. I discounted the failed particles in culling these sets out (simply removed particles that were completely transparent). I tested a single subset to see approximately how many particles I'm losing to this error. I then extrapolated how those percentages would affect the overall set.
Subset test:
w/ fails removed
101900
w/o fails removed #OK #FAIL %
103883 102233 1650 1.59%
Extrapolation for entire set :
w/ fails removed
1900063
w/o fails removed #OK #FAIL %
1930274 1900063 30211 1.59%
If you take into account that we're applying a PDF to our data set, some of these lost particles would be removed anyway.
Original Set: 1900063
PDF Set: 632123 (30% retention)
Viable Fails: 9063
Not sure how big an effect 9K extra particles would have on the appearance of the data set. However, the ideal situation would be a solution to the texture-lookup fails.
