Particle Velocity

  • Category: 3D / Particle / Effectors
  • Access: All editions.
  • Function: Controls particle velocity over life.
  • Input pins:
    • ⏺  Parent (scene object child reference) - Connects parent node to this object.
    • ⏺  Active (logical) - When off, this scene object and its subtree remain invisible.
    • ⏺  Grouping (vector) - Grouping identifier used for object selection and filtering.
    • ⏺  Transformation (transformation) - Local transformation of this frame.
    • ⏺  Pivot (vector) - Pivot offset used when applying the transformation.
    • ⏺  Bound To (scene object binding reference) - Binding target reference used for frame constraints.
    • ⏺  Binding Type (integer, Binding Type) - Binding mode applied to the selected binding target.
    • ⏺  Add Transform (transformation) - Extra transformation applied according to AddTransfType.
    • ⏺  Add Transf Type (integer, Add Transform Type) - Space and mode used to apply AddTransform.
    • ⏺  Index (integer) - Index inherited by child objects that do not specify their own.
    • ⏺  Commands (vector) - Scene-command input used to control node behavior.
    • ⏺  World Transform (logical) - When on, applies the effector in world space.
    • ⏺  Emitter Curve (logical) - When on, uses emitter-based curve progression for effect evaluation.
    • ⏺  Abs Time Curve (logical) - When on, evaluates effect curves by absolute time instead of particle's own time.
    • ⏺  Amount (scalar) - Overall amount of velocity effect.
    • ⏺  Direction (integer, Particle Motion Dir) - Direction mode used for velocity effect.
    • ⏺  Velocity (vector) - Per-particle velocity values.
    • ⏺  Velocity Curve (curve) - Curve shaping velocity over particle life.
  • Output pins:
    • ⏺  World Transf (transformation) - Resulting world transformation of this frame.
    • ⏺  World Pos (vector) - World-space position of this frame.
    • ⏺  Bindings (scene object binding reference) - Output binding reference of this frame.
    • ⏺  Children (scene object child reference) - Connects child objects to this node.
