Properties

Object
Mesh	Particle Model
/Spawn
Spawn Type	Whether to spawn every frame (Stream), once at a set frame (Burst), or with trigger (Trigger).
Lifespan	Particle lifespan
/Source
Spawn Source	Type or shape to spawn particle from.\n\tShape: Spawn from fixed 3D shape.\n\tPath: Spawn from path data.\n\tMesh Vertices: Spawn from any 3D mesh verticies.\n\tDirect Data: Spawn from array of Vec3 points.
Movement
Velocity	Initial velocity.
Acceleration	Change of velocity per frame.
Follow Spawn Shape	In Shape Spawn Source, add velocity from the shape to particle.
Rotation
Rotation	Initial rotation.
Rotational Speed	Change in rotation per frame.
Snap Rotation	Snap rotation angle (in degree) before render.
Follow Velocity	Rotate the particle model to follow its current velocity.
Scale
Scale	Particle scale in XYZ axes.
Size	Uniform scaling.
Color
Color Over Lifetime	Particle blend over lifespan (multiply with base material).
Random Blend	Random initial color per particle.
Alpha	Particle opacity.
Render
Blend Mode	Rendering blend mode.
Billboard	Rotate particle to always face the camera.
Loop	Pre-render the particle before the first frame to create loopable animation.
Pre-Render	Amount of frame to pre-render if Loop is set to true.
Path
Path	Move the particles along custom path.
Path Deviation	The number to multiply particle absolute position to add to the path position to create the final position.
Physics
Gravity	Add gravity to particle.
Turning	Add random turning force to each particles.
Turn Both Directions	Apply randomized 1, -1 multiplier to the turning speed.
Turn Scale With Speed	Scale turning force with particle speed.
Ground
Ground	Add +Z ground collision to the particle.
Ground Offset Type	Make the ground an Absolute global position or Relative to particle spawning position.
Ground Offset	Ground position in Absolute type, or offset from the spawn point in Relative mode.
Bounce Amount	Apply bounce on collision with the ground.
Bounce Friction	Reduce velocity in other axis when collide with the ground.
Wiggles
Direction Wiggle	Apply random direction while keeping current velocity.
Position Wiggle	Apply random positional shifting.
Rotation Wiggle	Apply random rotation.
Scale Wiggle	Apply random scale.
