Interface
The user interface appears in the parameters panel, on the right side of the
Particle View dialog.
Lock On Emitter When on, causes all particles to remain at their initial
positions on the emitter. In effect, they're “glued” to the emitter. When off,
each particle's birth position is determined by the emitter's current location.
Default=off.
Inherit Emitter Movement When on, the software sets each particle's rate
and direction of motion to that of the emitter at the time of birth. When off,
the emitter movement doesn't affect that of the particles. Available only when
Lock On Emitter is off. Default=off.
NOTE If a Speed operator exists later in the event, it overrides any motion imparted
by Inherit Emitter Movement.
Multiplier Determines, as a percentage, the extent to which particles inherit
the emitter's motion. Available only when Inherit Emitter Movement is on.
Default=100.
To have the particles move half as fast as the emitter, set Multiplier to 50. To
have them move the same speed, use the default setting of 100. To make the
particles move twice as fast as the emitter, set Multiplier to 200.
