How can I make 3d particles spin on multiple axises around their pivot point?

I would like to simulate a large number of objects falling to the ground, As they fall, I would like them to randomly rotate about their pivot point. Imagine dropping a bunch of tiny cubes, how they would randomly tumble around in the air until they hit the ground.

I am using a 3D particle system with a custom mesh as the particle and I am able to make the particles spin on a single axis. However, I’d like for them to rotate around their pivot point on all axises. Is this possible using the the 3D particle system?

I’m not sure because I haven’t tested it myself, but I think you can do that using a “ParticleMaterial”.

The documentation explains a method for controlling the position and velocity of particles.

If you need to send variables to your shader, you can use the “set_param()” function in your script.

Hope this helps.
