particle system is grayed out, and a new field appears in the lower left of the Emission panel for Resolution,
with a default value of 10.
In the example shown in
Figure 6-3
,
emitter particles are set to emit from an Icosphere mesh. This figure
shows particles with all default values in place. If you add a particle system to an Icosphere and press Alt+A to
play the animation, this is what you will see. Notice that the particles are being affected by gravity. This is due
to the fact that Newtonian physics is set on the particle system by default, that the Gravity value is 1 under the
particle system's Field Weights tab, and that the gravity of the scene is set to -9.810 along the z-axis.
