Inter face

Co lor #1—A particle approaches t his color as it

reaches its slowest speed. By default, this color is

whitetoprovidetheopaqueendoftherangefor

an opacity map.

Co lor #2—A particle approaches t his color as it

speeds up. As a default, this color is black to

provide transparency in an opacity map.

Typically, you don’t need to change either of these

two colors.

Sharpness—Controls the transparency, relative

to the speed. If Sharpness is set to 0, the entire

particle is blurry and transparent, no matter how

slow it is traveling. The default works well in many

cases. Default=2.0.
