Additional particle generator controls can be found in the Param2 tab.

X Rotation field

Displays the X orientation for particles that have just been born (spawned). Editable.

Y Rotation field

Displays the Y orientation for particles that have just been born (spawned). Editable.

Z Rotation field

Displays the Z orientation for particles that have just been born (spawned). Editable.

X Rotation Variance field

Displays the variation of the X rotation of a particle once spawned from the particle generator. Editable.

Y Rotation Variance field

Y Spin field

Displays a value to act as a speed setting to a Y rotation animated over time. Editable.

Z Spin field

Displays a value to act as a speed setting to a Z rotation animated over time. Editable.

X Spin Variance field

Displays a variation to the X Spin channel once particles are spawned from the particle generator. Editable.

Y Spin Variance field

Displays a variation to the Y Spin channel once particles are spawned from the particle generator. Editable.

Z Spin Variance field

Colour Var field

Displays the variation of the colour of each particle based on the colour set in the Diffuse colour bar (Particle Geometry menu). Editable.

Use Seed button

Enable to override the particle's seed (useful if you want to change the position of each particle in the particle stream).

Seed field

Displays the random seed value for the particle stream properties. Editable.

TailSize field

Displays the width of a particle's tail, expressed as a percentage. Works only with quad and cone particle types. Editable.

TailSize Variance field

Displays the variation of the TailSize value, as a percentage. Editable.

Mass field

Displays the mass of each particle (used with Damping when manipulating particles). Editable.

See Setting Manipulator Properties.

Mass Variance field

Displays the variation of the mass, as a percentage. Editable.
