Set nParticle Emission Attributes

If your nParticle object emits particles (has an attached emitter node) you can control some emission settings using the nParticleShape node’s Emission Attributes. Most emission properties, such as initial position, direction, quantity, and speed of the emitted particles, are controlled by emitter node attributes. For information about emitter node attributes, see Work with emitters in the Dynamics guide.

To set nParticleShape node Emission Attributes

1. In the scene view, select the nParticle object you want to edit.
2. In the Attribute Editor, select the nParticle object’s nParticleShape tab.
3. In the Emission Attributes section, set the following:
   • Max Count
   • Level Of Detail
   • Inherit Factor
   • (Optional) Turn on Emission In World.
   • (Optional for volume emitters.) Turn on Die on Emission Volume Exit.
   • (Optional) Emission Overlap Pruning.
