 === Number of particles ===
-The number of particles is not a ValueBase Node. In fact the number of particles  is the number of times you duplicate one single "particle template" Inline canvas. So you really only need one "particle template" layer to start your own particle set. Notice that the particle-template-v1.0.sifz file have 40 "particle template" layers. All they come from the duplication of a single one. Also each one can be used as a seed for new particles. You can use any of them for your own animation. So, you can pickup one of them and copy to your canvas from the imported particle template file, or use it directly just deleting the other 39 and starting a new particle set.

 I strongly recommend that the experiments were done with a small amount of particles (50-100). Later at final render you can duplicate the particles as many times you need and make the render. Command line render is recommended.

 To allow the particles have random initial velocities, both parameters can be random by its corresponding ValueBase Nodes: V0spread and alphaspread. Here applies same explanation than for X0 and Y0. Look the diagram to see what means alphaspread.

 All the possible particles initial velocity must be inside that arc shown in the diagram that covers +/- alphaspread around alpha (15 DEG and 45 DEG respectively in that case).

 Each particle have one shooting start position denoted (X0,Y0). That pair of ValueBase Nodes can be modified and animated by the user. The green circle's centre mentioned before is link to those pair of values so modifying the green circle's centre you modify the shooting position.
-To allow particles be shot randomly from an area near X0,Y0 you can use Xspread and Yspread ValueBase Nodes. The shooting point for each layer for each new shot is calculated based on the current X0,Y0 values and the current Xspread and Yspread values. Xspread and Yspread act as the Radius sub-param of a {{l|Convert#Random|random]] convert type.
