Building a simple emitter

• I started with this tutorial.
• Create a new system
  • 
  • Based on the fountain.
• They have you change properties in Emitter Update
  • Set the Life Cycle Mode to be system apparently improves optimization.
  • They also change the spawn rate to be big.
• Under Particle Spawn, Initialize Particle
  • Change the lifetime parameters to be 3 to 5
  • 
• They have you modify the particle sizes.
• Right now, they are generated on a sphere.
  • From another tutorial they showed how to change this.
  • Click on the + sign next to the Particle Spawn
  • Add Cylinder Location.
  • Delete SphereLocation
  • Move the cylinder generator up.
  • 
  • I changed the height to be 1 and the radius to be 600
  • I set the surface only to be on.
  • And deselected use endcap
  • 
• YOU can mess with the initial velocity in the Velocity item.
• The particle update is called each tick of the simulation on every particle.
  • They have you add a collision node.
• It needs to be before the Solve forces, so move it up.
