Anyone have any info on this?

It depends on what do you mean with particle system. It is possible to generate and control Thinking Particles and standard Cinema particles through the C++ API.

Actually, at this point I am interested in creating my own particle generator. Which I have done in C++ outside of the C4D API, is it possible to bring my own generator in to a c4d plugin. for example, I have files emitter.h and emitter.cpp and particle.h and particle.cpp. The emitter is as it states, a class that emits particles which are also a separate class , using C++ and openGL. Can I incorporate openGL code in to C4D plugins?
Is it possible to use my particle generator which is completely independent of the C4D API, and call from that within a C4D plugin?
Thanks,

I am still not sure what you want to achieve. What do you want to do with the particles or what kind of particles are they? Is this a sprite renderer or an object particle generator (cloner)?
You can't access Cinema's OpenGL framework but you can of course use your own OpenGL framebuffer and bring the result into Cinema via a posteffect for instance.

You really wrote that particle system or did you find it on the internet? It seems strange that you have knowledge to write that and render it with OGL but you are not able to port it to the c4d api. Weird somehow.

I wrote the particle system by following a DVD I have on programming for Open GL. I did NOT find it on the internet. I wrote it. Not sure if you see a lot of people stealing from others but I am not one of those people. I run a clean business.
I have some ideas on how I will port it in to the c4d API but I was simply asking if it was possible before I wasted my time trying to do so.

Not sure why you talk about stealing but I was talking about license free code. And a particle system is surely a so rudimentary thing you find tons of free-to-use resources on the web. Wonder why you pointed that out.
Anyway, I am not sure I still get that. You followed a DVD but the classes must be C++ standard in any case, beside the OGL particle drawing routines, so porting it should simply be including the files in your SDK project. Could you point us to the DVD with a link, maybe then somebody can tell you more. -

I apologize Katachi, it was quite early in the morning where I am and when I read your post I took what you said the wrong way.
The DVD i followed is : http://www.3dbuzz.com/xcart/product.php?productid=30&cat=12&page=1
You are right.. everything but the openGL drawing is C++ standard...
I will toy around with it more when I get home and if I have a more specific question I will post it. My question is too broad at this point for a precise answer so I think I will play with it more.
Thanks,

yep, it´s hard to judge but if it´s all C++ standard it should really only be including it in the sdk. You can call any OGL code also directly from within any Draw() function so this is the place to start calling the OGL routines.

LOL... That was the answer to the question I wasn't able to ask correctly. HAHA
