the projected normal’s direction. Use Live Update to update the projection position every frame. You can scale your projection in any direction with the projection transform. Projection Texture The image to use where each pixel will wander through the scene in form of a Raycast. Transform The transform to project from. Live Update Determines if the projection should update every frame. Enable this if your projection transform moves or you have projected objects moving inside the projection area. Origin Offset Offset the texture’s origin in X- and Y values. Projection Distance Determines how far the projection rays can travel into the scene, measured in Units. Projection Scale The scale of projection in Units. A scale of one will make each pixel one Unit. When using local simulation space, use this to scale rather than the projection transform to ensure correct projection depth. Surface Offset Determines how far away the source position will be distributed from surface. Using the projected surface normal. Projection Mask The layer mask of which colliders within layer can be seen by the projection rays in the scene. Spline Emit particles from one or several Playground Splines in the scene. A Playground Spline is multithreading friendly and can be updated live during runtime. Each node and bezier handle can be set towards a Transform, for easier live manipulation. 40 of 70
Time Offset The offset of the spline’s curves. This can be used to move particles over time on the spline. Treat As One Spline Determines the birth distribution of particles over the assigned splines. Particle Settings In the Particle Settings you can set the amount of particles within the scene, determine what size and rotation they should have, further tweak their source position and apply lifetime emission patterns. Particle Count The amount of particles that should be actively simulated by the particle system. Overflow Mode Use this to set which method to calculate Overflow Offset by. Available methods are Source Transform (transform point), World (global) and Source Point (normal point direction). Source Transform Offset by calculating the source’s transform point. World Offset by calculating the world position. Source Point Offset by calculating the source position using the source point's normal direction. Overflow Offset The offset each overflow iteration from the source’s number of points. This will make the source copy itself in direction, based on the selected Overflow Mode. For instance, using the Unity Sphere mesh as Source that consists of 525 vertices and using a Particle Count of 1050, the Overflow Offset will determine where the later 525 overflowing particles will position in relation to the first. The result is that you will get a perfect copy of your sphere at the offset position. This can for instance be used intuitively to recreate the lights on a 41 of 70
