Particle Emitter

Particle Emitter is a tool in VFX design that lets designers create many small moving objects, like sparks, smoke, or rain, by setting rules for how these objects appear and behave. Designers can control things like how fast the particles come out, their size, color, and how long they last. Particle emitters can use shapes, images, or even 3D models as particles, and these can react to things like wind or gravity in a scene. Some particle emitters can use real-world data, such as motion capture, to make effects match live-action footage more closely, which helps blend digital and real elements in movies or games.
