# TP Hair Tip Emitter

Back to reference Back to index
This preset needs the CINEMA 4D module Hair to work.
Hair Dynamics need to be active to make the preset work.
The Hair Tip Emitter preset will emitt particles along the tangent of the hair at the tips of guides.
Using hairs instead of guides isn't possible with this setup.
On: Activates the Emitter. This parameter can be easily animated to switch the emitter on and off as needed
Particle Group: Thinking Particles group to which the generated particles will belong
Hair Object: Hair Object where the tips should b eused to emitt particles
Shape: Object that is used as a shape for the particle
Type:

Count will emitt as many particles as neccesary to keep the over all count at the set number of particles
Rate will emitt the set number of particles per second
Shot will emitt the set number of particles per frame

Particle Number: Number of particles emitted
Inherit Velocity: When enabled the particles will start with the velocity of the moving tip, the speed parameter will then be ignored
Guide Selection: The emission will be restricted to this selection of guides if the parameter is used
Speed: Speed of emitted particles in units per second
Speed Variation: Variation of the speed of emitted particles, the resulting speed will not go above the set speed
Life: Lifetime of particles in frames
Life Variation: Variation of particle lifetime, the resulting lifetime will not exceed the set lifetime
Spread Angle: Opening angle of the emitter conus
Align: If true particles will be aligned in direction of movement during emission
