		CPU-based 3D particle emitter.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		CPU-based 3D particle node used to create a variety of particle systems and effects.
		See also [Particles], which provides the same functionality with hardware acceleration, but may not run on older devices.
		[b]Note:[/b] Unlike [Particles], the visibility rect is generated on-the-fly and doesn't need to be configured by the user.
