The Particle-System
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dust creates Particle-objects using two objects:
-a structure-object (particle-positions, -sizes)
-a shape-object (particle-shape).
The object-attributes are taken from the shape object, too.
There are two modes to force the particles:
-point-mode: every point of the structur-object gets a particle,
the size is calculated comparing the volumina
-face-mode : every face of the structure-object gets a particle
(centered), the particle-size is calculated using
the face-size
If the parameter ALIGNP set to TRUE Dust will try to align the
x-axis of the particles along the face-normals.
A very nice feature is to create sphere-objects using only one
object (structure).
This sphere-objects are treated as normal particle-objects (saving,
loading, exploding, etc.) but must be saved as TDDD-Group
using the SAVESPHERES-command (You can't join real spheres).
That means you can't load this objects into Dust again - so don't
forget to save the objects as particle
