This setting specifies the number of particles emitted from a emitter in a single frame.
For values where 0 ≥ x > 1
, that value is added to each frame, and after it reaches 1
, a particle is emitted.
The following figure shows the particle emission timing based on an example in which the emission volume is 0.75
and the emission interval is 1
.
You can also configure for random particle emission volume.
Emission Volume ± (Random Value × Emission Volume)
For an emission volume of 10 and a randomness of 50%, this equation would be 10 + ((Random value between - 0.5 and 0.5) × 10)
, producing a particle emission volume that varies between 5 and 15.
The particle emission time is the period of time during which an emitter is emitting particles.
The following figure compares emitter settings for a particle emission volume of 1
, an emission interval of 20
frames, and infinite emission time set to On
and Off
.
When infinite particle emission time is set to Off
, the emission time is specified at 50
frames.
Details for these settings:
When Infinite is set to On
, the emitter continues to emit particles every 20 frames, emitting 5 particles over 80 frames.
When Infinite is set to Off
, the emitter emits particles every 20 frames, but because the emission time was specified as 50 frames, only three particles are emitted over 80 frames.
Setting | Parameters |
---|---|
Emission interval | Specifies the interval at which the emitter emits particles. |
Emission time | Specifies the time duration during which the emitter emits particles. When Infinite is set to On , the emission time is infinite.When Infinite is set to Off , you can specify the emission time as a number of frames. |
This setting specifies the time interval from one particle emission to the next. Specified as a number of frames from 0 through 100.
You can also specify a random interval between particle emission.
Number of Frames Specified as the Emission Interval ± (Random Value × Number of Frames Specified as the Emission Interval)
For an emission interval frame count of 10 and a randomness of 50%, this equation would be 10 + ((Random value between - 0.5 and 0.5) × 10)
, producing particle emission intervals that vary between 5 and 15.
