Using the emitter falloff controls

- [Instructor] Something that I think is a really cool feature in X-Particles 4 is the emitter falloff shapes. So, these become available when working in the object emitter shape. I'm going to setup a simple example to illustrate how you could use them. So, here we have a disc and what we want to do is create the impression of particles coming from the middle and being emitted over the disc. So, let's begin by setting up the emitter. So, we've got the emitter here and we just come over to the Object tab and we're going to change the emitter shape to Object then we'll drag in the disc. I'm going to change the Emit From to be Points and going to stick the particle to the Source Object and choose One Particle Per Source Element then I'm going to come over to Emission and change the Mode to Shot and just one particle. If we press G on the keyboard to go forward one frame, sure enough we have particles being emitted from the points on this disc. Let's hide the disc and now we can see what…
