The second image shows the Emitter tab in the Inspector. The emitter contains a single
particle cell (the text object “stingray,” as shown at the bottom of the tab in the Particle
Source parameter). A particle emitter can have multiple particle cells (which can
include text objects, images, or shapes drawn in Motion). Notice that the Emitter tab
also contains the Birth Rate, Life, Scale, Emission Range, and Emission Angle parameters
found in the Emitter Dashboard.
Quite a bit bigger monkey, admittedly. The Particle Emitter tab shows every available
parameter for the emitter (including the parameters in the Dashboard). Since the
Dashboard is a subset of the larger Inspector parameter group, any change to a
parameter value in the Dashboard is reflected in the Inspector.
For more information on working with particles, see “ Creating Particles ” on page 139.
