Drive Particles tab

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

Subtopics

Clear

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