Tools on the Drive Particles tab let you manipulate particle systems in the scene view.

Shelf items

Attracts or repels particles using a referenced Force SOP or Point SOP.
Transfers point or vertex attributes from reference geometry onto particles.
Sets attributes on and/or groups particles when they collide with geometry.
Changes a particle’s diffuse color and/or alpha.
Causes selected particles to stick to or slide along the surface of an object.
Applies drag to the linear velocity of particles, which slows down the particles at every frame.
Applies a cone-shaped force to particles.
Makes particles follow a leader.
Applies a directional force on particles.
Applies a strong downward force to particles.
Replaces each particle with a geometric shape when it is rendered.
Kills particles based on expressions.
Adds random force to each individual particle.
Calculates and applies forces necessary to make particles orbit around a centerpoint. You must choose the centerpoint in the parameter editor.
Replaces each particle with a predefined simple shape, which you can select in the operation controls toolbar or parameter editor.
Replaces each particle with an image, which can have transparency.
Rotates particles around another point.
Accelerates particles up to a maximum speed.
