570 Chapter 8 Working With Particles
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.
An animated preview of the selected particle emitter plays in the Preview area. While it
is playing, you can drag the pointer around in the Preview area to see how the particle
looks while in motion.
Note: If the preview does not automatically start playing, click the Play button in the
Preview area. To automatically play items selected in the File Browser or Library, choose
Motion > Preferences (press Command+,), then enable “Play items automatically on a
single click” in the File Browser & Library section of the General pane.
