Zibra Effects

Zibra Smoke & Fire

Emitter for Effect Particles. Effect Particles do not affect main Smoke & Fire simulation, and are simulated separately, but they are moved based on the main simulation.

Adding Particle Emitter

1. Right click in Hierarchy, and select “Zibra Smoke And Fire -> Particle Emitter”.

   Note that if you right click specifically on your Smoke And Fire object, as shown on the screenshot, you can skip step 2.

   

2. Open Inspector for your Smoke And Fire object, and press the Add button in the list of manipulators to add. You can also use the Add all button to add all manipulators to your Smoke And Fire instance.

   You may also need to expand the list of colliders to add by pressing the “Add Manipulators” button first.

   

Particle Emitter parameters

• Emitter particles per frame

  Number of Effect Particles emitted per simulation iteration.

• Renderable

  Whether the particle itself is going to be rendered

• Render Mode

  How particles are going to be rendered

  Options:

  • Default - particle visuals are fully controlled via gradients depending on their lifetime.
  • Sprite - sprite will be used to render each particle.

• Particle Color (Default Render Mode only)

  Curve that defines color depending on the particle's lifetime.

• Particle Motion Blur (Default Render Mode only)

  Scale for motion blur of a particle.

• Color Oscillation (Default Render Mode only)

  Define the oscillation of particle color with time.

• Particle Sprite (Sprite Render Mode only)

  Sprite that will be used to render particles.

• Particle Brightness

  Particle’s relative brightness.

• Size Curve

  Curve that defines size depending on the particle's lifetime.

• Size Oscillation

  Define oscillation of particle size with time.

• Add Impulse

  When enabled, particles are not affected by simulation, and instead emitted with initial impulse and affected by gravity

• Impulse Direction

  Impulse applied to particles on emission

• Impulse Spread Angle

  Maximum random deviation applied to Impulse Direction.

• Particle Mass

  Mass of the particle for gravity acceleration calculation.
