particleImage
The texture image SceneKit uses to render each particle.
Declaration
var particleImage: Any? { get set }Discussion
Texture images help to determine visual effect rendered by the particle system. The particleColor property colorizes the image before rendering. You may specify an image using an NSImage (in macOS) or UIImage (in iOS) instance, or an NSString or NSURL instance containing the path or URL to an image file.
If the value is nil (the default), SceneKit renders each particle as a small white square (colorized by the particleColor property).
To specify a sequence of frames for animating each particle, arrange the frames as a grid in a single image, as shown in Figure 1, then use the properties listed in Animating Particle Images to identify frames in the grid and set the speed and style of the animation.

You can also create particles that appear reflective by assigning an array of images to this property. SceneKit treats the six images in the array as a cube map and renders each particle as a solid-color, reflective sphere. The particle system’s fresnelExponent property controls each sphere’s reflectivity. For details on cube map textures, see SCNMaterialProperty.
