Field Nodes

ParticleFields01

Fields allow you to change the particle over time using a source as volume of influence for the field.

Destroy Field

ParticleDestroyField01

The Destroy field will kill particles when crossing the destroy field source shape. The result can also be inverted.

Noise Field Settings

Noise Field Settings

Description

Use Velocity

Consider velocity of the particle when calculating noise.

Attenuation

Attenuation will reduce the amount of noise Magnitude.
Attenuation is how much the effect of the field decays from the ‘center’ to the ‘boundary’ of the Noise Field Source
If set to zero the Magnitude is applied to the entire field.

Frequency

Value changes position to increase or decrease the noise sample.

Magnitude

The amount of force to apply to the drag.

Octaves

The amount of times the noise is sampled.

Noise Field Source Primitive

Radial Field

Radial Field Parameters

Description

Active

Toggle: Controls whether the Radial Field Node is Active or Inactive.

Radial Field Settings

Radial Field Settings

Description

Attenuation

Attenuation will reduce the amount of radial Magnitude.
The Attenuation uses a linear falloff with the center of the source being zero Attenuation and the edge being full Attenuation.
If set to zero the Magnitude is applied to the entire field.

Magnitude

The amount of force to apply to the field.
A positive value will cause the particles to be pushed away from the source shape.
A negative value will cause the particles to be pulled toward or attracted to the center of the source shape
