# Output Particle Primitive

Menu Path : **Context > Output Particle [Primitive]**

*(Output Particle (Lit) Quad, Output Particle (Lit) Triangle, Output Particle (Lit) Octagon)*
|
|
|
|
The Output Particle primitives (quad/triangle/octagon) Context are the most commonly-used output types and are great for a wide range of effects. They come in a regular (unlit) and a [Lit](Context-OutputLitSettings.md) variety (HDRP-only).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This Context supports the following planar primitives:
|
|
|
|
* **Quad:** A standard rectangular particle, useful in most scenarios.
|
|
* **Triangle:** Has only half the geometry compared to quad particles, triangle primitives are useful for fast-moving effects or effects which render many particles.
|
|
* **Octagon:** Useful for reducing overdraw at the cost of pushing extra geometry, octagon primitives can be useful to conform closely to the particle texture and avoid rendering unnecessary transparent areas.
|

Below is a list of settings and properties specific to the Output Particle Primitive Context. For information about the generic output settings this Context shares with all other Contexts, see [Global Output Settings and Properties](Context-OutputSharedSettings.md).

## Context settings

|
|
|**Setting**|**Type**|**Description**|
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
|**Primitive Type**|Enum|**(Inspector)** Specifies the primitive this Context uses to render each particle. The options are:<br/>• **Quad**: Renders each particle as a quad.<br/>• **Triangle**: Renders each particle as a triangle.<br/>• **Octagon**: Renders each particle as an octagon.|

|
|**Crop Factor**|float|The amount by which to crop the octagonal particle shape. This eliminates transparent pixels which allows for a tighter fit and reduces potential overdraw.<br/>This property only appears if you set **Primitive Type** to **Octagon**.|
