Inputs

...


Image AddedTime [ time ] – Time at which the TP Birth operator should evaluate. 

On [ bool ] – True if the TP Birth operator should be enabled.

Position [ position ]– The positions at which the operator will test its conditions for birthing.

Particle [ particle ] – The particles at whose positions the operator will test its conditions for birthing.

When no Position or Particle input is present, the entire Phoenix FD Simulator is tested for birth conditions.

Birth Rate [ scalar ] – Overrides the value set in the TP Operator's UI.

Lifespan [ scalar ] – Overrides the value set in the TP Operator's UI.

Lifespan Variation [ scalar ] – Overrides the value set in the TP Operator's UI.

Size [ scalar ] – Overrides the value set in the TP Operator's UI.

Size Variation [ scalar ] – Overrides the value set in the TP Operator's UI.

Mass [ scalar ] – Overrides the value set in the TP Operator's UI.

Mass Variation [ scalar ] – Overrides the value set in the TP Operator's UI.

 

Outputs

...

 

*Born Particle [ particle ] – The particles born from the TP Birth operator.

*Particle Frame Counter [ integer ] – The amount of particles born from the TP Birth operator on the current frame.

*Particle Animation Counter [ integer ] – The amount of particles born from the TP Birth operator during the current thinkingParticles simulation.

Phoenix Node | node  –  – Determines which simulator will be used.

Group – Specifies a thinkingParticles Group to place the newly generated particles into.

Rate | rate_type[0], rate_percent – A multiplier for the birth probability.

Rate (max prt/s) –  | rate_type[1], rate_per_sec – A multiplier for the birth probability.

Seed  – | seed – An initial value for the random numbers generator.

Lifespan | lifespan – The average lifespan of the generated particles. When Variation (%) is set to 0, all particles have exactly the same lifespan.

Variation (%) | lifespan variation – Allows you to vary the lifespan of the generated particles. If set to 100%, the shortest living particles will have a live twice shorter than average, and the longest living particles will have double the average Lifespan.

Size | size – The average Size of the generated particles. When Variation (%) is set to 0, all particles have exactly the same Size.

Variation (%) | size variation – Allows you to vary the Size of the generated particles. If set to 100%, the smallest particles are two times smaller than average and the largest particles will have double the average Size.

Mass | Mass – The average Mass of the generated particles. When Variation (%) is set to 0, all particles have exactly the same Mass.

Variation (%) | mass variation – Allows you to vary the Mass of the generated particles. If set to 100%, the lightest particles have Mass two times lower than average and the heaviest particles will have double the average Mass.

Combine  –  | combine – The method used to combine the diagram for Temperature, Smoke and Speed.

Add – The values are added.
Multiply – The values are multiplied.
Biggest  – The biggest value is selected.

Temperature/Smoke/Speed/Fuel –  | use_t, use_s, use_v, use_f – Diagrams representing the birth density based on each source channel.

Reset – Resets the corresponding diagram with its default content.
