Modeling with particles

Any object in GIG can be converted into particles. Modelling can be done using radius, connect, and tailsize.
radius
Can be used to vary the size of the particles when converting, e.g., using a radius-variance to create particles of different sizes on an object.
connect
Can be used to join particles emitted from the same emitter. This makes possible effects such as growing hair, plants, or jellyfish.
tailsize
Changes the shape of particles that are moving and have a nonzero blur. It can be used to increase/decrease the radius of the tail compared to the radius of the head.
