Additional particle generator controls can be found in the Param2 tab.
- Rotation fields
-
Displays the orientation for particles that have just been born (spawned).
- Rotation Variance fields
-
Displays the variation of the rotation of a particle once spawned from the particle generator.
- Spin fields
-
Displays the value to act as a speed setting to a rotation animated over time. For example, a value of 30 causes a particle
to spin 30 degrees per frame around its axis.
- Spin Variance fields
-
Displays the variation to the Spin channel once particles are spawned from the particle generator.
- Colour V field
-
Displays the variation of the colour of each particle based on the colour set in the Diffuse colour bar (Particle Geometry
menu). The variance is expressed as a percentage. Colour Variance works with surfaces or geometries.
- 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.
- TailSize field
-
Displays the width of a particle's tail. TailSize is expressed as a percentage:
- At 100%, the tail is the same width as the head.
- At 200%, the tail is twice as wide as the head.
TailSize only works with quad and cone particle types.
- TailSize Variance field
-
Displays the variation of the TailSize value (as a percentage).
- Mass field
-
- Mass Variance field
-
Displays the variation of the mass (as a percentage).
