CS Effects lets you edit any of more than 40 parameters to achieve the exact look you need from your smoke, fire, and other plume/stream effects. When you have the CS Effects token selected, and you select the EDIT tab in the Component Inspector window, you are presented with the Edit pane:
 |
From here you can modify the MAIN SETTINGS (shown by default) for the effect, or ALL SETTINGS (all 40+ parameters).
You see from the visual above that you can modify parameter values by changing the position of the sliders that accompany the parameter name. The sliders are actually changing the numeric values of the parameter. You will notice that some parameters have a green bar on either side of the slider thumb, such as in the VELOCITY parameter, above. This green bar tells you the amount of variance currently applied to that parameter. Variance means that the actual value of each particle will be selected from within that range, not the exact value given by the position of the slider thumb. Variance gives a randomness look that can make smoke and other effects look more realistics. If a parameter has a variance, there will be a separate slider that allows you to change that variance value.
