Overview

Slices a particle fluid using a set number of slicing planes evenly spaced along a certain direction. See how to distribute a particle fluid simulation for more information.

Using Slice

  1. Click the Slice along line tool on the Particle fluids tab.

  2. Select the particle fluid you want to slice, or select a previous slice to create sub-slices, then press Enter. See the help on the Slice tool for information about sub-slicing regions.

  3. Use the handle in the viewer or the parameters in the parameter editor to position and rotate the line direction. Drag the “contentric ring” handles to resize the sliced range. Use the Number of regions parameter to set the number of slices made across the line.

For specific parameter help see the Slice along line node help.
