RGB | uvw, useuvw – If the RGB Map is not enabled, the emitted fluid's RGB channel will contain the specified color. If the RGB Map is enabled, the RGB values from the texture map will be used instead of the color swatch. If the RGB channel is not enabled in the Output rollout of the Simulator, this parameter will be ignored. Also, note that if Emit Mode is set to Volume Brush or Volume Inject, the Map cannot use Explicit Map Channel or Vertex Color Channel mapping, because these apply only for the surface of the geometry.

Modifiers | dmodrgb – Discharge Modifiers can be attached here in order to affect the RGB parameter.

Map | uvwmap, useuvwmap – Allows you to vary the RGB over the surface or the volume of the emitters. If this is not used, the Source will emit equal RGB over the entire surface or volume of the emitters.

None – The RGB channel will not vary.
Texmap – Allows you to specify a texture map to color the fluid emitted by the Source. If this is used, the color swatch is ignored and the RGB comes entirely from the texture.
Vertex Color – The RGB channel of the emitted fluid is determined by the emitter node's vertex colors. If this is used, the color swatch is ignored and the RGB comes entirely from the vertex color.

Particles | particles, useprt – Allows the source to emit particles into the Simulator. The particle birth rate is in thousands of particles per second.

Type | prttype – Specifies the type of particles created by this source:

Drag – The source will emit Drag particles. These are the simplest Phoenix particles and are just carried by the velocity of the simulation, without interacting with one another. They can be shaded using the Particle Shader and can be used for simulation of embers, or integration effects such as dust or sand. The RGB color of Drag particles is inherited from the Source and written in the cache files if the Simulator → Output → RGB Grid Channel is enabled.
Foam – The source will emit Foam particles into liquid simulations. Note that Foam simulation must be enabled from the Liquid Simulator so this type of particles can be emitted into it.
Splashes – The source will emit Splash particles into liquid simulations. Note that Splash simulation  must be enabled from the Liquid Simulator so this type of particles can be emitted into it.

Modifiers | dmodprt – Discharge Modifiers can be attached here in order to affect the Particles parameter.

Mask | prtmap, useprtmap – Allows you to vary the amount of particles over the surface or the volume of the emitters. If this is not used, the Source will emit equal amount of particles over the entire surface or volume of the emitters.
