For even more variation, you can apply Parameter behaviors to particle cells.

Combining the power of behaviors with the inherent particle system parameters allows

you to easily create complex, limitless effects that are nearly impossible to accomplish

any other way.

Adding Particles to Your Project

There are two ways to add particles to a project. The first method—and the easiest—is

to apply a preset particle effect from the Library into your project. You can quickly

customize a preset particle effect after it is added to your project, as well as replace the

preset’s particle cells with your own images or objects. The second way to add particles

is to use an object in your project, such as a shape or image, to generate particles.

Adding a Preset Particle System

You can quickly apply a particle effect to your project using a pre-made particle system

from the Library. The preset particle effects are located in the Particle Emitters category

of the Motion Library. Once added to your project, you can modify all parameters

associated with the particle system.

Note: You can save a preset particle system that you have modified back to the Library,

and can preview the modified presets in the same manner as other particle effects. For

more information on saving customized particle systems, see Chapter 8, “Working With

Particles,” in Motion Help.

To browse for a particle system in the Library:

1 In the Library, select the Particle Emitters category, then select a particles subcategory.

The particle effects for that category appear in the stack.

2 In the stack, click a particle emitter.

In the following image, the Gravity Phone emitter is selected (from the SciFi

subcategory) in the stack and plays in the Preview area.

To add the selected particle system to your project, do one of the following:

In the Preview area, click Apply.
