Changing the Emitter Properties

When creating emitters, you can modify any of the emitter properties (along with the particle types).

To modify the particle types, see Modifying Particle Types. To modify the properties for a library emitter, see Modifying Library Emitters.

To change emitter properties:

1. Select the emitter object in the Workspace panel or in the viewport.



2. Adjust emitter properties in the Emitter controls, or in the Timeline (for the ones you can animate).

For information on specific properties, see Emitter Controls.

Note: As you change an emitter, the results are displayed in the Particles preview. If you select a particle type in the Workspace panel instead, you can still edit the emitter's properties, but the preview may show only the particle type. This will happen if the Show Particle Types option in the Preview menu is enabled.
