This creates a field. See Work with turbulence fields.

-
Sets the strength of the turbulence field. The larger the number, the stronger the
force. You can use positive or negative values to move the influenced objects in random
directions.
-
-
Sets how much the strength of the field diminishes as distance to the affected object
increases. The rate of change is exponential with distance; the is the exponent. If you set to 0, the force remains constant over distance.
-
-
Sets the frequency of the turbulence field. Higher values cause more frequent irregularities
in the motion.
- , ,
-
Sets the phase shift of the turbulence field. This determines the direction of the
disruption.
-
-
Linear specifies a linear interpolation between values in the noise table. This can
create noticeable breaks along lines of force. Quadratic interpolation creates a smoother
look but requires noticeably more execution time.
-
-
The greater the value, the more irregular the turbulence. The attribute specifies the number of additional lookups you want done in the noise table.
A value of 0 does only one lookup and is equivalent to previous versions of Maya.
The total turbulence value is a weighted average of the lookups.
-
-
Specifies the weighting of successive lookups. The weights are cumulative. For example,
if you set to 0.5, then successive lookups are weighted 0.5, 0.25, and so on. has no effect if the is set to 0.
-
-
If you turn on , connected objects within the area defined by the setting are affected by the turbulence field.
If you turn off , all connected objects are affected by the turbulence field, no matter how far away
they are from the turbulence field.
-
-
Sets the maximum distance from the turbulence field that the field is exerted. You
must turn on for to take effect.
Available in the for object fields only.
-
-
Sets where the field emanates from the object. If you turn on , each individual point (CV, particle, vertex) of the chosen object exerts the field
equally at full strength. If you turn off , the field is exerted only from the average position of the specified points.
