+This is the base direction at which particles emit. The default is
+``Vector3(1, 0, 0)`` which makes particles emit to the right. However,
+with the default gravity settings, particles will go straight down.

+For this property to be noticeable, you need an *initial velocity* greater
+than 0. Here, we set the initial velocity to 40. You'll notice that
+particles emit toward the right, then go down because of gravity.
