Particles After N First Splits off all particles starting with the first one after
N particles, as specified with the N parameter (below). All particles starting
with the first to enter the event up to N are retained in the event.
N Specify the number of particles to split off, with First N Particles, or to retain
in the event, with Particles After N First.
Available only with the First N Particles or the Particles After N First option.
Per Emission Source When on, the software applies the N value for the options
First N Particles and Particles After N First separately for each emission source.
Use this option with multiple Particle Flow sources converging into a single
Split Amount test.
Uniqueness group
The Uniqueness setting enables randomization of particle retention with the
Fraction Of Particles option.
Seed Specifies a randomization value.
New Calculates a new seed using a randomization formula.
Split Selected Test
Particle View on page 2811 > Click Split Selected in an event or add Split Selected
to the particle system and then select it.
The Split Selected test lets you split the particle stream based on particles'
selection status. For information about selecting particles, see
Selection rollout
on page 2833.
NOTE This test considers only particles selected at the Particle sub-object level.
To use all particles in an event at a specific frame, go to that frame, go to the Event
sub-object level, and highlight the event. Then go to the Particle sub-object level,
and on the Selection rollout, click Get From Event Level.
