This page provides information on the Thinking Particles Phoenix FD Birth operator.
The Phoenix FD Thinking Particles operators allow you to create and modify particles based on the Phoenix FD fluid simulation.
The birth probability is based on the fluid parameters and is determined by the corresponding diagrams. For example, particles can be created only in those areas of the Phoenix FD simulation where the Temperature is above a certain threshold, there is no Smoke, or the Speed is very high.
|
Time [ 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.
*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.
"*" denotes an array output - multiple values will be output during a single evaluation of the TP Birth operator. |
