I am creating a particle system and would like to create a point like how your able to in webgl. The inherit particle system features do not work with what I am trying to do plus a sphere is just unnecessary for what I am trying to create. Can I get some guidance on this or pointed in the right direction?

Hey there, in the documentation for [Shape Emitters](https://doc.babylonjs.com/divingDeeper/particles/particle_system/shape_emitters) you will find all sorts of shapes to use, not just the sphere emitter.
Here for example is the playground from the above documentation that shows how to create a point emitter. 🙂

The custom particle system would/should work. I think I was overthinking this plus not fully understanding how to render a particle system in 3d. I was thinking of a way to render a single vertex point then throw a color on that but with no real understanding of how to render it to the scene.
