5. Select the emitter1 tab, and change the Spread for the emitter to 0.2. Change Rate
(Particles/Sec) to 200 and Speed to 3.0. Play back the simulation, and render a frame
to compare to Figure 12.37.
6. The Color ramp in the nParticle's Attribute Editor controls the color of the steam,
and a shader is assigned to the particles. Select the steam nParticle object, and
open the Hypershade window. In the Hypershade, click the Graph materials on the
selected object's icon (
), as shown in Figure 12.38.
