- [Instructor] In the last video, we created this environment of cells and now we're going to create a tumor growing in it using an nParticle emitter. For this you want to go into the FX menu and then go to nParticles, create emitter, and open up the options box. Under the emitter type we want to change this to volume. And to start with, let's just set the rate to 20. Under the volume emitter attributes, we want to change the volume shape to a sphere and then we want to change the volume sweep to 180. Under the away from center attribute, we want to change this to 0.2. And then hit create when you're done. Now what we want to do is position our emitter. So you want to rotate it so that the dome aspect of it is pointing upwards. And then just tuck it in amongst the other cells. We can now see that we've got an emitter that's emitting particles that are interacting with these other particles. What we want to do first is to go back into our first particle set in nParticle1 and then under…
