Advanced Attribute Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Force Generation | (CPU only) Adds a force that is generated by the emitter. [See the AWS documentation website for more details] |
| Fill Rate Cost | (CPU only) Multiplies the emitter’s contribution to the total fill rate. This affects automatic culling of large particles when the global limit is reached. Set this to a value greater than 1 if the effect is relatively expensive or unimportant. Set this to a value less than or equal to 0 if the effect is important. You should not experience automatic culling. Valid values: 0+Default value: 1 |
| Heat Scale | (CPU only) Multiplies thermal vision. Valid values: 0 to 4Default value: 0 |
| Sort Quality | (CPU only) Specifies more accurate sorting of new particles in the emitter’s list. To avoid the popping that results from changing the render particle order, particles are never re-sorted after emission. Instead they are sorted only when emitted, based on the main camera’s position.
[See the AWS documentation website for more details] Valid values: 0 to 2Default value: 0 |
| Half Res | Renders particles in a separate, half resolution pass, reducing rendering cost. To enable this parameter, set the r_ParticlesHalfRes console variable to 1. For more information, see
Using the Console Window. Default value: false |
| Streamable | (CPU only) Allows texture or geometry assets to stream from storage as normal. Default value: true |
| Particle Size Discard | (GPU only) Discards particles below the defined screen space pixel size. Valid values: 0 to 255Default value: 0 |
| Depth of Field Blur | (GPU only) Blurs particles against depth of field full screen effects. This excludes geometry and decal types. Default value: false |
| Spherical Volume | (CPU only) Simulates adding spherical volume to the particle and multiplies particle size to define the volume. Default value: 1 |
