Visible

Toggle the particles' visibility in the viewport.

Percentage

Determine how many particles you want to display in percent. This parameter does not influence meshing or rendering, and has no effect when instance objects are displayed (see Fluid > Particles > Render Only).

Size

The particles' viewport size is adjusted here – rendering is not affected by this value. Valid settings range from 1 to 100.

Property

Particles will by dyed according to the chosen property with the gradient from “Particle Color”.

Automatic Range

When active a property's minimum and maximum values are calculated by RealFlow | Maya automatically. The colour gradient from → "Particle Color" is adjusted to this range. When disabled you will be able to define your own range, e.g. for enhancing colour contrast. Particles with values smaller than “Min Range” or greater than “Max Range” will be displayed with the same gradient colours.

Min Range

If “Automatic Range” is unchecked you can define a custom value. All particles with values smaller than “Min Range” will be displayed with the same gradient colour.

Max Range

If “Automatic Range” is unchecked you can define a custom value. All particles with values greater than “Max Range” will be displayed with the same gradient colour.

Particle Color 

This is Adjust the place gradient to adjust the colours of the rigid particles.dye the particles according to the chosen "Property" like "Speed".

 

Gradient

The gradient can be configured freely. By default, slower particles are displayed in blue, faster ones in white. Knots are used to shift the gradient's colors, the buttons in the lower bar delete a colour knot.

Selected Position

This is the position postion of the gradient's colour slider knot currently selected. The range is between 0 (left) and 1 (right).

Selected Color

The colour of the slider currently selected. Click on the rectangle to assign a new colourat a gradient knot's position.

Interpolation

Choose from different modes to specify , how the gradient colours will between the knots whould be interpolated.
