Position

Settings under the Position category can be used to set an animation or change the position of emitted particles.

Position Settings and Features

This page describes Position settings and features.

To read about the common features Enable and Copy Resource, see here.

Particle Position
A Addition Adds an animation for the position being set.
B Add in specified direction Sets particles to move at a steady speed in the specified direction.
C Spin Sets a spinning motion for the entire particle.
D Random (position) Sets a quivering motion on a per-particle basis.

Addition

You can add by selecting from the following three position settings.

Item Description
Add in specified direction Sets particles to move at a steady speed in the specified direction.
Spin Sets a spinning motion for the entire particle.
Random (position) Sets a quivering motion on a per-particle basis.

Add in specified direction

Adds a value each frame in the direction set for the particle position.
As a result, the particle moves at an even speed.

Particle Position 01

Delete

Deletes the Add in specified direction setting.

Direction:

Sets the direction to be added versus the position in terms of X, Y and Z.

Speed

Sets the speed the particle moves in the specified direction.

Runtime Setting

To read about the Enable checkbox and resource copying, see here.

Spin

A spinning motion can be given to the entire particle.
An inertialess, steady spinning motion results because the set value is repeatedly added to the angle.

Particle Position 01

Delete

Deletes the Spin setting.

Axis

Specifies the axis along which to rotate the particle.

Angular Velocity

Specifies the angle by which the particle will rotate along the specified axis in one frame. Practical values range from -20 to 20, but you can also use values beyond this range.

Runtime Setting

To read about the Enable checkbox and resource copying, see here.

Random (position)

Setting Randomness (position) allows you to make particles quiver slightly.

Particle Position 01

Delete

Deletes the Randomness (position) setting.

Strength

Specifies the direction and strength of the force applied to a particle.
The stronger the force, the more greatly the particle quivers.

Frame Interval

Specifies the interval (in frames) for adding values to the particle position.

Runtime Setting
