Adjust the display characteristics of the particles. These settings don’t affect the render output of the scene; these are for display purposes only in the 3D Viewer.

• off - hides the particles.

• wireframe - displays only the outlines of the particle.

• solid - displays all particles with a solid color.

• solid+wireframe - displays the particles as solid color with the particles outlines.

• textured - displays only the surface texture.

• textured+wireframe - displays the wireframe plus the surface texture.

• unchanged - doesn't change the particles display mode. The Viewer can override this setting.

When enabled, you can select the particles in the Viewer by clicking on them.

Sets how the particles render. This control is independent from the display selection, but has the same settings.

Sets which particles are affected, by channel. For example, setting channels to a only affects particles emitted into the a channel in the ParticleEmitter node's Properties panel.

Sets the way sprite particles are aligned:

• none - sprite particles are not aligned.

• spin - sprite particles are aligned according to their rotation.

• velocity - sprite particles are aligned according to their velocity.

Note:  This control has no effect on particles generated from geometry.

When specify frame is enabled, the frame control freezes the particles in the selected channels at the specified frame in the simulation.

For example, you could freeze particles in a channel called fog at frame 50 while allowing particles in the other channels to simulate as normal.
