This section describes child particles tables.
Child particles are particle that can be called [from other particle sets] as emitters of particles. Values for velocity and other such properties can be inherited by the emitting particle (i.e., the parent particle) to the child particle.
The emission timing of the child particle.
The following table gathers together information on the types of timing at which children can be emitted.
Settings | Description |
---|---|
When the parent particle expires | Emitted particles expire at the same time as the particle they were emitted from. |
When parent particle expires | Emitted particles expire immediately after the particle they were emitted from expires. |
Specify a value between the emission start and emission end time (Lifespan %) |
Specifies emission timing as a proportion of the emitting particle lifespan. This is useful when varying the lifespan randomly. |
Specify a value between the emission start and emission end time (Frames) |
Specifies the emission timing directly as a frame. This is useful when you want to emit particles at an exact time. |
The particle acting as the generation source can assume the role of an emitter shape. The types of emitter shapes are the same as the emitter shapes.
