Particle Area Radius | radius – Specifies the radius of the particle area.
PA | radius_time – If this option is enabled and – You could use this option only when you have animated the Particle Area Radius is animated, the particle Age channel of individual particles is treated as if it is the Timeline itself, and animation applied to the Particle Area Radius is evaluated over it. Conversely, when this option is disabled, the Particle Area Radius animation will treat the particles as a collection of points, and will scale them simultaneously, regardless of their current age. Note. When PA is off, the animation of Particle Area Radius affects all particles simultaneously. When you enable PA, the animation of Particle Area Radius will be read using the Age of each particle. This way the animation curve will start from the birth time of each particle, instead of the first timeline frame. This way at one point in time different particles could use different moments of the animation, if they were born at different times. Note: The particle ages must be exported from the Output roll-out of the Phoenix Simulator. If the particles are imported from another plugin or application, e.g. through the PRT Reader object, you must make sure to export the particles' ages from the other software.

Equal – All particles add the same contribution to the end result.
Proportional – The contribution of each particle is determined by the distance to the particle
Biggest – The particle with the biggest contribution determines the end result.
Voronoi – The nearest particle is used.
Blend Alpha | blend_alpha – When enabled, the alpha of the sampled color texture is blended. Otherwise, it is set to 1.
Color Intensity | amplitude, amplitude_time – The color strength in the particle area.
PA | amplitude_time – If this option is enabled and – You could use this option only when you have animated the Color Intensity. When PA is animatedoff, the particle Age channel of individual particles is treated as if it is the Timeline itself, and animation applied to the Color Intensity is evaluated over it. Conversely, when this option is disabled, the Color Intensity animation will treat the particles as a collection of points, and their Color Intensity will the scaled simultaneously, regardless of the particles' current ageanimation of Color Intensity affects all particles simultaneously.
