VisualShaderNodeParticleMeshEmitter
===================================

**Inherits:** :ref:`VisualShaderNodeParticleEmitter<class_VisualShaderNodeParticleEmitter>` **<** :ref:`VisualShaderNode<class_VisualShaderNode>` **<** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **<** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A visual shader node that makes particles emitted in a shape defined by a :ref:`Mesh<class_Mesh>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

:ref:`VisualShaderNodeParticleEmitter<class_VisualShaderNodeParticleEmitter>` that makes the particles emitted in a shape of the assigned :ref:`mesh<class_VisualShaderNodeParticleMeshEmitter_property_mesh>`. It will emit from the mesh's surfaces, either all or only the specified one.
