In publishing and graphic design, lorem ipsum is common placeholder text used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as font, typography, and layout. Substituting dummy text for meaningful content should not be confused with "greeking".


env_embers

Creates the floating fire embers particle effect. The image on the right was created using a weak light entity just below an env_fire.
