If set to a specific number, e.g., [1000], particles will stop once the limit is reached Lifetime Start = [20] each particle lives for [20] seconds before disappearing Range = [5] each particle lives for 20 ± [5] seconds Position Range X = [80] particle birth range in width Y = [80] particle birth range in height Angle Start = [0] particle starting angle in degrees Range = [60] particle starts at 0 ± [60] degrees Speed Start = [50] moves at [50] velocity Range = [10] moves at 50 ± [10] velocity Acceleration X = [0] negative for acceleration to the left, positive for right Y = [0] negative for acceleration downward, positive for upward Alpha Start = [0.5] initial alpha value ([0] = transparent, [1] = opaque) Range = [0.3] alpha range: 0.5 ± [0.3] Speed = [-0.05] animates particle transparency (negative = more transparent, positive = more opaque) Scale Start = [0.5] initial scale Range = [0.2] scale range: 0.5 ± [0.2] Speed = [-0.05] animates particle size (negative = smaller, positive = larger) Rotation Start = [30.0] starting rotation angle in degrees Range = [120.0] rotation range: 30 ± [120] degrees Speed = [-0.02] animates rotation (negative = clockwise, positive = counterclockwise) Create distinctive, beautiful particle effects with plenty of customization options. You can create rain effects, fireworks, or any abstract art effect and enjoy the colorful particle show. This particle show brings joy and a cheerful atmosphere to your device.
