Connect to selected fields or emitters of an object
 
 
 

You can connect a particle object to selected fields or emitters on an object. Previously you had a choice of all or none of the object’s fields or emitters.

Example

Suppose a curve has two directional point emitters, emitter1 and emitter2. Emitter1 emits particle spheres to the right, while emitter2 emits particle streaks to the left. The spherical particles are particle1. The streaking particles are particle2.

If you select particle1, the Dynamic Relationships Editor shows that it is connected to emitter1:

You can select either, neither, or both emitters in the right side of the Dynamic Relationships Editor. For example, if you connect particle1 to both emitter2 and emitter 1, you’ll see spheres emitted from both emitters. Emitter2 already emits streaks, so the spheres will be emitted in addition to the streaks.
