Spline Emitter

What is it about?

This page documents the Spline Emitter of the particle system in Cinema 4D. It emits particles from spline points, sections or a tube-shaped surrounding — making curves the direct source of streams, trails and outline effects.

This Emitter is closely related to the Mesh Emitter, except that the particles here do not originate from the points, areas or the volume of a polygon geometry, but from an assigned spline geometry. The particles can occur at the points of the spline, in its tubular surroundings or only at individual sections of the curve.
