public class ParticleEmitter
extends Geometry
```
ParticleEmitter is a special kind of geometry which simulates a particle system.
Particle emitters can be used to simulate various kinds of phenomena, such as fire, smoke, explosions and much more.
Particle emitters have many properties which are used to control the simulation. The interpretation of these properties depends on the ParticleInfluencer that has been assigned to the emitter via setParticleInfluencer(com.jme3.effect.influencers.ParticleInfluencer). By default the implementation DefaultParticleInfluencer is used.

public ParticleEmitter clone()
```
    Description copied from class: Geometry
    
    This version of clone is a shallow clone, in other words, the same mesh is referenced as the original geometry. Exception: if the mesh is marked as being a software animated mesh, (bind pose is set) then the positions and normals are deep copied.
    
    Specified by:
    
    clone in interface CloneableSmartAsset
    
    Overrides:
    
    clone in class Geometry
    
    Returns:
    
    A clone of this Spatial, the scene graph in its entirety is cloned and can be altered independently of the original scene graph. Note that meshes of geometries are not cloned explicitly, they are shared if static, or specially cloned if animated.

Setting to false will cause each particle to have an animation of images displayed, starting at image 1, and going until image X*Y when the particle reaches its end of life.
