Once the Birth Rate slider is lowered, fewer particles are emitted.

Using the Inspector
As with all objects in Motion, the Inspector contains all parameters for a particle
emitter and particle cells. When an emitter only contains a single particle cell, the
parameters for that cell appear in the Emitter tab, as well as the Particle Cell tab. When
an emitter has multiple cells, only the names and image wells of the cells appear in the
Emitter tab (and can be turned on or off ). You can edit the parameters for each particle
cell in their respective Particle Cell tabs.

The following jellyfish image is the result of the above steps and adjusting the Opacity
Over Life, Spin, and Angle Range parameters in the Inspector. For more information on
particles, see Chapter 8, “Working With Particles,” in Motion Help.
