from a single point, from a line, or spray out in a circle.
Select the Mask option, and then select a mask from the list (or click to
import a custom mask image) to create a masked area where particles emit from.
Depending on the mask you select/import and how you resize it, the particles will
emit differently.

to select the style of the emitting particle object. Depending on the property you
select, the particle shape and behavior changes. Select the style that best suits the
effect you are trying to accomplish.
