Emit Particles

3D Modifier  -  Emit ParticlesGeometryGenerator Icon Particles from a geometry

EmitParticlesGeometryModifier EmitParticlesGeometryModifier EmitParticlesGeometryModifier EmitParticlesGeometryModifier

Emit particles from a geometry. For further information about particle systems, go check this part of the doc : ParticlesGeometryGenerator Icon Particles

This modifier can be added over an existing particle system to make some trails. But this can also be done with EmitParticleAction Icon Emit . Go check the ParticleRule Icon Particle Rule part of the doc.

Beware that number of emitted particles represents the total of emitted particles. If you put this modifier with a rate of 30 particles/seconds over a system containing millions of particles, you’ll get 30 particles/second as a result.

Here is an example of an extensive use of this modifier:

In this video “3D Transform” is called “place”

Particles simulation speed can be adjust through their CueTransport Icon Cue Transport .


Variables:

  • Fixed Update Rate: Fixed update rate (better uncheck if too slow)
  • Emission: Emission parameters
  • Fields: The Field Icon Field can be added from a right click over the particles modifier
  • Rules: The ParticleRule Icon Particle Rule can be added from a right click over the particles modifier
