Paths

Paths is a preview mode that draws the predicted trajectory of particles for the selected emitters, so you can see where they'll travel before you even emit.

Toggle it from the Paths entry on the SineVFX menu.

What it shows

With Paths on, SineVFX visualises the flight path a particle would take given the emitter's current velocity, acceleration, spread, and lifetime settings. As you change those values in Properties, the predicted paths update to match.

This is especially useful for:

• Directional effects - aiming a stream of particles precisely.
• Bezier / orbit effects - seeing the curve a particle rides.
• Tuning spread and acceleration - understanding how wide or how fast an emission fans out.

Notes

• Paths is a global preview mode, not a window - it stays on until you toggle it off, and its state persists between sessions.
• It affects only the selected emitters, so select the ones you're tuning.
