Drive Particles tab

Tools on the Drive Particles tab let you manipulate particle systems in the scene view.

Shelf items

	Advect	Moves particles using a velocity field.
	Attractor	Attracts or repels particles using a referenced Force SOP or Point SOP.
	Attribute Transfer	Transfers point or vertex attributes from reference geometry onto particles.
	Collision	Sets attributes on and/or groups particles when they collide with geometry.
	Color	Changes a particle’s diffuse color and/or alpha.
	Creep	Causes selected particles to stick to or slide along the surface of an object.
	Drag	Applies drag to the linear velocity of particles, which slows down the particles at every frame.
	Fan	Applies a cone-shaped force to particles.
	Follow	Makes particles follow a leader.
	Force	Applies a directional force on particles.
	Gravity	Applies a strong downward force to particles.
	Instance	Replaces each particle with a geometric shape when it is rendered.
	Interact	Makes particles attract or repel other particles..
	Kill	Kills particles based on expressions.
	Noise	Adds random force to each individual particle.
	Orbit	Calculates and applies forces necessary to make particles orbit around a centerpoint. You must choose the centerpoint in the parameter editor.
	Render	Replaces each particle with a predefined simple shape, which you can select in the operation controls toolbar or parameter editor.
	Sprite	Replaces each particle with an image, which can have transparency.
	Torque	Rotates particles around another point.
	Wind	Accelerates particles up to a maximum speed.
