Pyro emission rate?

[entry-newspaper]

Hey all:
I'm attempting to use pyro, in R2025.1.2.
However, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to animate the effect in and out.
I'm looking at the Pyro tag, and no where do I see anything related to an emission rate.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Hi entry-newspaper,

Yes, calling it Pyro Emitter, and then…, I understand your viewpoint.

The "emission" is based on fuel, how much is provided at the beginning, and how much is added over time, while amounts of the existing are burning away.
It is not a particle system; it was built closer to what it simulates.

Thanks, Dr. Sassi. I'll read through your links. I think half my issue, relates to (surprise) poor AI related Google searches, for the use of Pyro. That's where I was seeing the wording about "emission rate" controls.

Thank you very much, entry-newspaper.

Yes, I get that, the training of Gemini seems an ongoing process.

My best wishes
