Emisión¶
Referencia
- Panel:
The Emitter system works just like its name says: it emits/produces particles for a certain amount of time. In such a system, particles are emitted from the selected object from the Start frame to the End frame and have a certain lifespan. These particles are rendered default as Halos, but you may also render this kind of particles as objects (depending on the particle system’s render settings, see Visualization).
The buttons in the Emission panel control the way particles are emitted over time:
- Número
The maximum amount of parent particles used in the simulation.
- Semilla
Blender uses this as starting point to produce random numbers during the simulation.
- Fotograma Inicio
The start frame of particle emission. You may set negative values, which enables you to start the simulation before the actual rendering.
- Fin
The end frame of particle emission.
- Lifetime
The lifespan (in frames) of the particles.
- Lifetime Randomness
A random variation of the lifetime of a given particle. The shortest possible lifetime is Lifetime × (1 - Random). Values above 1.0 are not allowed. For example with the default Lifetime value of 50 a Random setting of 0.5 will give you particles with a live span ranging from 50 frames to \(50 × (1.0 - 0.5) = 25\) frames, and with a Random setting of 0.75 you will get particles with live spans ranging from 50 frames to \(50 × (1.0 - 0.75) = 12.5\) frames.

- Panel:
- Emit From
Defines how and where the particles are emitted, giving precise control over their distribution.
Truco
You may use vertex groups to confine the emission, that is done in the Vertex Groups panel.
- Vértices
Emits particles from the vertices of a mesh.
- Caras
Emits particles from the surface of a mesh’s faces.
- Volumen
Emits particles from the volume of an enclosed mesh.
Truco
Your mesh must be Manifold to emit particles from the volume. Some modifiers like the Edge Split Modifier break up the surface, in which case volume emission will not work correctly!
- Use Modifier Stack
Take any Modifiers above the Particle Modifier in the modifier stack into account when emitting particles, else it uses the original mesh geometry.
Nota
Note that particles may differ in the final render if these modifiers generate different geometry between the viewport and render.
- Distribución
These settings control how the emissions of particles are distributed throughout the emission locations when emitting from either Faces or Volume.
- Jittered
Particles are placed at jittered intervals on the emitter elements.
- Particles/Face
Number of emissions per face (0 = automatic).
- Jittering Amount
Amount of jitter applied to the sampling.
- Aleatorio
Particles are emitted from random locations in the emitter’s elements.
- Cuadrícula
Particles are set in a 3D grid and particles near/in the elements are kept.
- Invert Grid
Invert what is considered the object and what is not.
- Hexagonal
Uses a hexagonal-shaped grid instead of a rectangular one.
- Resolución
Resolution of the grid.
- Aleatorio
Add a random offset to grid locations.
- Orden aleatorio
The emitter element indices are gone through in a random order instead of linearly (one after the other).
Not available for Grid distribution.
- Even Distribution
Particle distribution is made even based on surface area of the elements, i.e. small elements emit less particles than large elements, so that the particle density is even.
