Viewport Display

    • Display As
      • None
      • The particles are not shown in the 3D View and are not rendered.The emitter may be rendered though.
      • Rendered
      • Particles are displayed the way they are rendered.
      • Point
      • Particles are displayed as square points.Their size is independent of the distance from the camera.
      • Particles are displayed as circles that face the view.Their size is independent of the distance from the camera.
      • Cross
      • Particles are displayed as 6-point crosses that align to the rotation of the particles.Their size is independent of the distance from the camera.
      • Axis
      • Particles are displayed as 3-point axes.This is useful if you want to see the orientation and rotation of particles in the viewport.Increase the Display Size until you can clearly distinguish the axis.
    • Color
      • None
      • Material
      • Particles are colored according to the material they are given.
      • Velocity
      • Color particles according to their speed.The color is a ramp from blue to green to red, Blue being the slowest,and Red being velocities approaching the value of Max or above.Increasing Max allows for a wider range of particle velocities.
      • Acceleration
      • Color particles according to their acceleration.
    • Amount
    • Specifies the percentage of all particles to show in the viewport (all particles are still rendered).
    • Make instancer visible in viewport.
