▪Count - Defines the number of displayed objects. The default value is 50. Valid values range from 1 to 1000.
▪Size - Defines the size of objects [in % of the Matrix Size]. The default value is 10. Valid values range from 0.01 to 1000.
▪Border - Is only available for 2D outlined shapes or 3D unfilled shapes. Defines how thick the outer line [border] of objects is. The default value is 25. Valid values range from 1 to 100.
▪Rotation - Defines if the objects rotate around the center [in °]. The default value is 0. Valid values range from -3600 to 3600.

Distribution - Allows you to choose a certain Distribution Mode for the specific parameter. Often, you can then define a minimum value and a maximum value.
Uniform - Each object has the same size.
Random - Sizes will be generated randomly.
RND - Generates random object sizes each time. This automatically activates Random Distribution Mode.
|
|
Outer Glow / Inner Glow - Is only available for specific Shapes. Defines the outer shimmer or inner gleam of objects. The default settings are 25. Valid values range from 0.01 to 100.

|
|
Shape Rotation Type - Is only available for specific Shapes. Defines the angle in which objects are rotated [0°, 90°, 180°, 270°, Random].
|
|
Path Alignment - Lets shapes rotate along the path instead of the general direction.
|
|
Rendering Mode - Defines how objects are rendered. Each mode may enable additional settings [such as additional Shapes]. Choose from 2 different modes. The default setting is Extended.
Simple - Prioritizes processing speed over rendering possibilities.
Extended - Prioritizes rendering possibilities over over processing speed. This mode may require more performance.
