Variables

angularVelocityThe angular velocity of the particle.
angularVelocity3DThe 3D angular velocity of the particle.
positionThe position of the particle.
randomSeedThe random seed of the particle.
remainingLifetimeThe remaining lifetime of the particle.
rotationThe rotation of the particle.
rotation3DThe 3D rotation of the particle.
