Creating Particle Effects (PB only)Use the Particle Playground effect to create animations in which a large number of similar objects must be animated independently, such as a swarm of bees. Particle effects simulate the physical interactions between objects in the real world. For example, if you want to create a snowfall effect, you normally have to animate many individual snowflake layers manually, hoping that you animated each layer's motion path realistically. By changing Particle Playground options, you can control whether a single snowflake you create results in a gentle dusting of snow or a driving blizzard. The built-in physics, including gravity, ensure realistic movement. Using Particle Playground's detailed level of control over particles, you can even make the snowflakes stick to a surface. Note: Because of the complexity of Particle Playground, you may experience long computation, preview, and render times. ![]() Snowflakes created using Particle Playground |
