Relations between Blend Modes and Particle Resources

For the PopcornFX particle, each blend mode has four sources for mesh-based particles. You can find them from the list in the Particle section.

• Solid Color Lit: This mode considers the light and shadow effects on the mesh for each particle without blending with the background. It creates an illusion of real meshes coming into existence.
  
• Additive: The particle will blend with the background by adding the Red, Green and Blue values for overlapped pixels of the particle and the background. Therefore, the mesh particles tend to look semi-transparent.
  

The relationships can be summed up in the following table:

Blend Mode	Mesh Max	Particle Resource
Solid Color Lit	1, 2, 3 or 4	Emitter/Solid_Color/Mesh_1, Emitter/Solid_Color/Mesh_2, Emitter/Solid_Color/Mesh_3, Emitter/Solid_Color/Mesh_4
Additive	1, 2, 3 or 4	Emitter/Additive/Mesh_1, Emitter/Additive/Mesh_2, Emitter/Additive/Mesh_3, Emitter/Additive/Mesh_4

The items with suffix "_1, _2, _3, _4" are used for emitting meshes with four different target shapes. Please refer to the following section for more information:
