After identifying that the emission speed was still too high in the X-Particles ring, I set about find a way to decrease this speed whilst also maintaining the desire look.
I continued to experiement with the settings in order to slow down the particle speed but also make them retain their wide spread – Within this animation, the speed was pushed down to 2cm which I thought slowed the emission speed down drastically, however, it still looks very fast in the animation.
Conclusion
Even after decreasing the speed settings almost down to 0cm, the speed of the particles I feel is still too high – I feel that the xpSpeed setting inside of the modifer had something to do with it, possibly slightly countering the new low value settings within the emission tab. I will retest this by further decreasing the speed and decreasing the xpSpeed value as well, and if this doesn’t work then I will have to find a solution or alternative very quickly to resolve my problem. Hopefully, I will be able to take it down into 0.1cm range to have a drastic effect on it.
