 This is where you can get really down and dirty with the emitters.

+Once you do that you will be greeted with this kind of UI at the bottom of Eden:
+{{ :whole.png |}}
+I know, I know, it makes the edit area even smaller. Don’t worry, it can be hidden/shown either individually or with Eden UI.
+But more about that later.
+<WRAP important>NOTE that your mileage may vary with the tool UI:
+On smaller resolutions and larger UI scales (normal and up) the tool can obscure the Eden side panels. More details on this in the section UI Shenanigans ...</WRAP>
+The tool is comprised of two sections, one for particle emitters and the other for light emitters.
+The sections can be switched by pressing the buttons on the left on tool top menu:
+{{ :emitter_strip.png |}}
+When the button is glowing green it means the section is selected.
+There are also keyboard shortcuts for selecting the tool sections: ``ALT + F1`` → particle editor and ``ALT + F2`` → light editor.
+{{:sel_ped.png|}} Particle editor
+{{:sel_led.png|}} Light editor
+Ok, let’s take a look at this part of the UI first, I’m calling it main menu.
+This is the **//Particle Editor//** main menu:\\
+{{ :main_menu_ped.png |}}\\
+The menu has "leafs" and on the particle editor section of the tool they are:
+  * [[ped_ui#basic_params|Basic Params]]
+  * [[ped_ui#render_params|Render Params]] (these first two include basically what you would give a particle emitter with the scripting command setParticleParams)
+  * Random (setParticleRandom)
+  * Circle (setParticleCircle)
+  * Damage (setParticleFire)
+  * Special
+  * Export/Import
+  * Prefs
+Selecting leafs also have keyboard shortcuts, for particle editor ``CTRL + 1-7``.
+So ``CTRL + 2`` selects [[ped_ui#render_params|Render Params]], ``CTRL + 3`` selects **Random**, and so on.
+And this is the **//Light Editor//** main menu:
+{{ :main_menu_led.png |}}
+  * Light params
+  * Directional
+  * Save Preset
+  * Load Preset
+  * Export
+  * Special
+  * Prefs (this is the same exact //Prefs// as with the Particle Editor)
+For the Light Editor main menu the keyboard shortcuts range is 1 – 6.
