In the Particle Editor, you can modify how emitters and particles look and behave. You can find all available parameters in the Attributes pane. Except for a parameter’s base value, most numeric parameters allow random variation over a particle or emitter lifetime.
Some parameters have additional settings:
- Random – Specifies how much a particle’s parameter value deviates from the default value of
0(no variation). - Strength Over Emitter Life – Controls the alpha strength over the lifetime of the particle. This parameter works with finite particles only. This parameter has no effect if set to continuous.
- Strength Over Particle Life – Controls the alpha strength over the lifetime of an individual particle. For example, you can use this parameter to make a smoke particle fade to nothing once its lifetime has finished. The particle fades out earlier or later depending on where you reduce the value to zero.
