690 Chapter 8 Working with Particles
Using the Particle Library
The easiest way to add a particle system to your project is to use one of the presets
from the particle library. The particle library is located in the Particle Emitters category
of the Library, and is a collection of pre-made particle effects that you can add to your
project. There are many types of particle effects to choose from. If you find one that is
close to what you need, you can easily customize its parameters after you add it to your
project. Particle systems are added to a project exactly like any other object.
To add a particle system from the Library:
1 In the Library, click the Particle Emitters category.
2 Click one of the particle subcategories, such as Nature, Pyro, SciFi, and so on.
3 Select a particle preset in the Library stack.
