I think that whatever the emitter is, you won’t see the particles in a screenshot by using `CreateScreenshotUsingRenderTarget`. After some source digging, it seems `RenderTargetTexture` deals only with meshes: the `_renderList` property used internally to render objects in the texture is an `Array`, and particle systems are not `AbstrachMesh`: the list of objects is retrieved through a call to `Scene.getActiveMeshes()` whereas particle systems are found in `Scene.particleSystems[]`. Don’t know if it’s a bug or if it is expected… Looks like a bug to me, however. Maybe @Deltakosh will have some insight about this? You should use `CreateScreenshot` instead, which will work as expected. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.babylonjs.com/t/screenshot-and-particlesystem/6508)._
