    Particle Physics pane settings

    The Particle Physics pane in the Shader settings lets you customize the size, speed, direction and duration (known as “Life Time”) of the particles used in the Particle shader. It is divided into the Particles area and the Physics area.

    Note:

    You can key and animate these settings to create dynamic environmental effects.
