Particle Animation Color Opacity

Hello,

Running through a Build Island tutorial and I need to be able to set the Opacity of the color for a particle. I was unable to locate where I would set the Opacity. I’m sure this is a simple question and I have searched the forums. Thank you for the help.

That would be the alpha channel of the particle’s color.

For example, if you right click on the color in the particle’s color animation sequence, a color picker will show up. The alpha/transparency of the particle is the bottom slider in this window.

By animating the transparency as well as the color, you can have the particle ‘fade out’ over time.

@ Quietus - Thank you for your help. I was thinking that the A slider was the alpha channel as I fell asleep last night. Once again thanks for the help. Have a great day!
