Is it possible to change the shape of a (large) point from a hemisphere to just a circle? 0r should I invest in emRPC4? Does it even do large points?
It might seem an odd thing to do, but points are sometimes quite handy.

Re: changing the shape of a point
I guess no one understood your question, can u explain it please.
You got the predefined shapes u can choose from in an emit node a.e. or you can use an instance shape node to instance geometry, but this doesnt answer your question i guess.

Like Helli said, can you clarify or provide a screen grab to illustrate your questionsIs it possible to change the shape of a (large) point from a hemisphere to just a circle? 0r should I invest in emRPC4? Does it even do large points?

You can re-size point with the set data > self.size and change the shape from point to sphere to circle with self.shape if that is what you are looking for. Plug the set data on the onCreation port of the add point node.
