cb_basicParticles (Compatible with IFFS 2017.0.0 and up)
Emitter Position: Sets the normalized (0-1) position of the particle emitter on the screen.
Particle Count: Scales the number of particles (0-2000); 0.5 = 1000 particles.
Speed: Base speed multiplier for particle movement.
Speed Variation: Random variation in particle speed (0 = uniform, 1 = max variation).
Velocity: Directional velocity (X, Y) affecting all particles.
Lifetime: Base lifetime of particles in seconds.
Lifetime Variation: Random variation in lifetime (e.g., 0.5 = ±25% of lifeTime).
Size: Base particle size in pixels.
Size Variation: Random variation in particle size (0 = uniform, 1 = max variation).
Spawn Rate: Particles spawned per second.
Gravity: Strength of downward gravity affecting particles.
Particle Color: RGB color of the particles.
Spread: Random spread of initial velocity around velocity.
Use UV Map: Toggle between emitter position (0.0) and UV map (1.0) for spawn points.
Show Emitter: Show a red dot at the emitter position (1.0) or hide it (0.0).
Wind: Constant wind velocity (X, Y) affecting particle motion.
Turbulence: Strength of random turbulence applied over time and age.
Fade Out: Toggle fading as particles age (1.0 = fade, 0.0 = no fade).
Fade Variation: Random variation in fade timing (0 = uniform, 1 = max variation).
**ANIMATE spawnRate.
**UV input for Emitter fun.

Something wrong with this page or the download?

How to get help with this particular shader
Sadly, the custodians likely will not be able to explain to you how a shader works or debug its code, or fix it for you. That is the (volountary) role of the shader author.
If the shader does not work on your system or you have questions about it - read the shader description, and try to find the email address of the shader author. Contact them for any issues – letting them know whether you are on Mac or Linux, what version of IFFS you are running etc. will likely help. Be kind and respectful. If you can't get hold of the author - you can try asking in the Logik forum at logik.tv and ask whether anyone could help you debug a particular shader not working.
