Vector shapes as bomber particles help

Question: Is it possible to use vector shapes, either as script or files and input them into various nodes, for example particles of a bomber?

I've figured out how to use bezier curves to make shapes, but I feel like this is a lot of steps, especially if you want to use a couple of different custom shapes, the filter starts to bog down.

I've also figured out that you can use the selection as a shape in photoshop, but ideally I would like to use a few custom shapes in one filter at a time.

Using pngs with the color select inputs is not ideal as some of the particles I use get stretched a lot, leaving pixelation in the results.

Any thoughts, help or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Sphinx, yeah you're correct.

I just wanted to know for sure that it wasn't supported in case I was missing out.

Thanks for the link, it actually helps to see how many different ways there are to come up with shapes. The shapes I want range from simple abstract to detailed abstract, but precise rather than random for artistic sake. I could probably create something using some of these methods

I will give it another go with these tips in mind and hopefully get the amount of steps down before it ends up in the bomber

Thanks again.

Alright, noted... More good tips, thanks CFandM!
