Figure 103: Attribute editor for nParticles created in the nParticle Emitter. Under Particle Size, I decreased the Radius to create smaller “shredded manioc” particles.

Figure 104: Top image depicts original particles emitted with a larger radius. Bottom image depicts particles emitted after decreasing the particle radius in the Attribute Editor.
