Above the event display is a menu bar, and below is the depot, containing all actions available for use in the particle system, as well as a selection of default particle systems. This wiring defines the schematic, or flow, of the particle system.īy default, the name of each operator and test in an event is followed by its most important setting or settings in parentheses. To indicate where they should go next, you wire the test to another event. You use tests to determine when particles are eligible to leave the current event and enter a different one. They're called this because a local event's actions typically affect only particles currently in the event.
You can add any number of subsequent events to a particle system collectively, the birth event and additional events are called local events. By default, the birth event contains this operator as well as several others that define the system's initial properties. Following this is the birth event, which must contain a Birth operator if the system is to generate particles. The global event always has the same name as the Particle Flow icon by default, this is PF Source # (starting with 01 and counting upward). The first event is called the global event, because any operators it contains can affect the entire particle system. Enhanced menu: Simulate menu > Create (Simulation Set) > Particle View.Enhanced menu: Objects menu > Particles > Particle View Editor.Create panel > (Geometry) > Particle Systems > Object Type rollout > PF Source button > Setup rollout > Click Particle View (or press 6).Select a Particle Flow source icon > Modify panel > Setup rollout > Click Particle View (or press 6).Operators and tests are known collectively as actions. A particle system consists of one or more events wired together, each of which contains a list of one or more operators and tests. The main window, known as the event display, contains the particle diagram, which describes the particle system. Particle View provides the main user interface for creating and modifying particle systems in Particle Flow.
