Box#3 Display Only Nth Particles

Quick Box#3 setup to only display every Nth particle in the viewport (or render, or viewport/render).

You filter out every nth particle, so for instance if you want to display every 10th particle, take your birth index and you nth integer of 10 pipe them to a division remainder function set an integer condition to equal 0, pipe that to the Output Visibility Viewport filter boolean. Pipe a Scalar Boolean False to the the Input of the Output Visibility. Now if a particle registers false it filtered out and will not be shown in the viewport. Propz go to Oatz (Khye Kading) for re-educating me about Division Remainders years ago ;)
