Sync By Choose the time frame to use when animating Offspring # and
Variation:
■ Absolute Time Any keys set for parameters are applied at the actual frames
for which they're set.
■ Particle Age Any keys set for parameters are applied at the corresponding
frames of each particle's existence.
■ Event Duration Any keys set for parameters are applied to each particle
starting when it first enters the event.
■ Restart Particle Age When on, sets the age of each newly spawned particle
at 0. When off, each spawned particle inherits its parent's age. Default=on.
Speed group
Lets you specify the behavior of spawned particles, as well as their speed in
absolute terms or relative to the parents' speed, with optional random variation.
The direction of a spawned particle is always in relation to that of its parent,
but you can set a Divergence so they eventually spread out. Default=Inherited.
Parent Specify the parent's behavior. Available only when Delete Parent is
off.
■ Bounce The speed and direction after collision is determined by the
deflector properties.
■ Continue Particle speed and direction are unaffected by the collision.
Offspring Specify the behavior of the newly spawned particles.
■ Bounce The speed and direction of offspring after collision is determined
by the deflector properties.
■ Continue Speed and direction of offspring are unaffected by the collision.
In Units Choose this to specify the speed of spawned particles in system units
per second. Default=100.0.
A positive value inherits the parent's direction; a negative value reverses it.
Inherited Choose this to specify each spawned particle's speed as a percentage
of its parent's speed. Default=100.0
A positive value inherits the parent's direction; a negative value reverses it.
Variation The amount by which a spawned particle's speed can vary randomly.
Default=0.0.
