The Particle Effect Editor


To add a particle effect to your scene, drag a New Particle Effect from the Create pane into the viewport.
To use the particle effect builder, simply create a particle effect and go to the edit panel.

Builder has never been stable enough for me to even think about editing particles.

Builder is actualy not that bad..you just have to access pretty much everything in level editor..becuse its all there.

public class T3DParticleData
public class T3DParticleEmitterData
public class T3DParticleEffectComponent : T3DRenderComponent, IAnimatedObject

its just the gui in builder..it will not synch to your .cs script called before the scene level loads...I think...

Builder is being replaced with the Torque3D (C++ engine) editor soon. There is no point me trying to load builder and make it not crash now, especially given that I am coding my levels in C#.
