578 Chapter 8 Working With Particles
2 The first thing you may notice in this example is that the size of each particle is so big
that it’s hard to make out any texture in the particle system. With the Emitter
Dashboard open, drag the Scale slider to the left to reduce every particle’s size so that
the individual particles are more textured.
3 In the Dashboard, click anywhere along the outer edge of the Emission control and
drag to define a narrow segment that limits the range of the angle at which particles
are created (the emission range).
Both points defining the emission range rotate around the center of the Emission
control symmetrically, so your initial wedge points to the right. As you adjust the
emission range, the particles rearrange themselves in the Canvas so you can see the
resulting effect.
