粒子系统面板

    粒子系统面板。

    These are the basic settings.

    • Active Particle System

    • The of the objects Particle Modifier(s).

      • Specials
        • Copy Active to Selected Objects
        • Copies the active particle system to all selected objects.
        • Copy All to Selected Objects
        • Duplicate Particle Systems
        • Duplicates the particle system within the active object.The Duplicate Settings option (in the Operator panel) will duplicate settings as well,so the new particle system uses its own settings.
    • Particle Settings
    • The Data-Block menu for settings.
    • Type

    • Main selector of the system type.

      • Emitter
      • In such a system, particles are from the object.
      • Hair
        • Regrows the hair for each frame. This is useful when you are animating properties.
        • Advanced
        • Enables advanced settings which reflect the same ones as working in Emitter mode.

    Note

    This manual assumes that this option is enabled.

    • Seed
    • This initial value for random properties can be used to create a look,which is slightly different, even when using the same settings.

    The process for working with standard particles is:

    • Create the mesh which will emit the particles.
    • Create one or more Particle Systems to emit from the mesh. Many times, multipleparticle systems interact or merge with each other to achieve the overall desired effect.
    • Tailor each Particle System's settings to achieve the desired effect.
    • Animate the base mesh and other particle meshes involved in the scene.
    • Define and shape the path and flow of the particles.
    • Make final render and do physics simulation(s), and tweak as needed.

    Each particle system has separate settings attached to it.These settings can be shared among different particle systems, so one does not have to copyevery setting manually and can use the same effect on multiple objects.

    Types of Particle Systems

    Particle System Types.

    After you have created a particle system,the Properties editor fills with many panels and buttons.But do not panic! There are two different types of particle systems,and you can change between these two with the Type selector:Emitter and Hair.

    The settings in the Particle System tab are partially different for each system type.For example, in Particle System Types. they are shown for only system type Emitter.
