Field Nodes

Fields allow you to change the particle over time using a source as volume of influence for the field.

Destroy Field

The Destroy field will kill particles when crossing the destroy field source shape. The result can also be inverted.

Destroy Field Parameter

Destroy Field Parameters	Description
Active	Toggle: Controls whether the Destroy Field Node is Active or Inactive.
Inverse Field	Toggle: if Enabled, the destroy field will use the inverse of the source geometry.

Destroy Field Source Primitive

Source Primitive	Description
Primitive	This field shows the path where your destroy field source is located in the stage/layer.
Add Target(s)	This button allows you to change to a different source.

Direction Field

The Direction field will move particles in a direction based on the direction field shape position, rotation and scale. Particles outside of the field will not be affected

Direction Field

Direction Field Parameters	Description
Active	Toggle: Controls whether the Direction Field Node is Active or Inactive.

Direction Field Settings	Description
Attenuation	Attenuation will reduce the amount of energy of the direction. Attenuation is how much the effect of the field decays from the ‘center’ to the ‘boundary’ of the Direction Field Source. If set to zero the Magnitude is applied to the entire field.
Magnitude	The amount of force to apply to the direction.

Drag Field Settings

Drag Field Settings	Description
Attenuation	Attenuation will reduce the amount of drag Magnitude. Attenuation is how much the effect of the field decays from the ‘center’ to the ‘boundary’ of the Drag Field Source. If set to zero the Magnitude is applied to the entire field.

Noise Field

The noise field generates a noise to influence particles inside the Noise Field Source.

Noise Field

Noise Field Parameters	Description
Active	Toggle: Controls whether the Noise Field Node is Active or Inactive.

Noise Field Settings

Noise Field Settings	Description
Use Velocity	Consider velocity of the particle when calculating noise.
Attenuation	Attenuation will reduce the amount of noise Magnitude. Attenuation is how much the effect of the field decays from the ‘center’ to the ‘boundary’ of the Noise Field Source If set to zero the Magnitude is applied to the entire field.
Frequency	Value changes position to increase or decrease the noise sample.
Magnitude	The amount of force to apply to the drag.
Octaves	The amount of times the noise is sampled.

Noise Field Source Primitive

Source Primitive	Description
Primitive	This field shows the path where your noise field source is located in the stage/layer.
Add Target(s)	This button allows you to change to a different source.

Radial Field

The radial field creates an zone of attraction or repulsion based on the field shape.

Radial Field

Radial Field Parameters	Description
Active	Toggle: Controls whether the Radial Field Node is Active or Inactive.

Radial Field Settings

Radial Field Settings	Description
Attenuation	Attenuation will reduce the amount of radial Magnitude. The Attenuation uses a linear falloff with the center of the source being zero Attenuation and the edge being full Attenuation. If set to zero the Magnitude is applied to the entire field.
Magnitude	The amount of force to apply to the field. A positive value will cause the particles to be pushed away from the source shape. A negative value will cause the particles to be pulled toward or attracted to the center of the source shape

Vortex Field Settings

Vortex Field Settings	Description
container	This will affect the overall look of the vortex. Higher values will tighten the vortex in the field.
Attenuation	Attenuation will reduce the amount of vortex Magnitude. Attenuation is how much the effect of the field decays from the ‘center’ to the ‘boundary’ of the Vortex Field Source If set to zero the Magnitude is applied to the entire field.
Magnitude	The amount of force to apply to the drag.
Random Magnitude	Randomize the amount of force through the vortex field.
