588 Chapter 8 Working With Particles
To open a particle system’s Emitter tab:
1 Select an emitter object.
2 In the Inspector, click the Emitter tab.
The Emitter parameters appear.
The contents of the Emitter tab are dynamic, and different parameters appear
depending on the number of cells in the particle system as well as the emitter shape
that’s used.
Single Cell vs. Multi-Cell Emitter Parameters
At first glance, many of the parameters in the Emitter tab appear to mirror identically
named parameters in the Particle Cell tab for each cell within that system.
If a particle system has only one source cell, the Emitter tab displays all of the
parameters for the cell, as well as the emitter’s own parameters. In this case, you can
control every aspect of the particle system directly from this single tab, which saves
you from having to go back and forth between the Emitter and Particle Cell tabs.
