Additional Field Attributes
The following attributes are not available in Field option windows. After you create
a field, you can adjust these attributes using the field's Attribute Editor.
Volume Trapping
When using a volume shape field, you can set volume trapping properties to keep objects
from exiting the volume field. Trapping properties work with all volume shapes and
volume curves.
-
-
Applies a force to the volume field that keeps objects inside the volume. When is set to a value greater than 0, and become available.
-
-
Sets the radius (as a local space distance) from the volume boundary within which
the force is applied.
-
-
Creates ends on volume cylinders, cones, and curves that trap objects inside the volume
or curve.
Creates a ramp which scales field along the volume axis.
-
-
This value indicates the position of the field on the ramp. For a volume curve, the left position on ramp represents the field at the base of the curve, while the right position on the curve represents the field
at the tip of the curve. For volume cylinders, the left position on the ramp represents
the field at the cylinder's bottom, while the right position on the ramp represents the field
at the cylinder's top.
-
-
This value indicates field at the
Controls the way field blends between positions on the ramp. The default setting is .
-
-
The curve is flat between points.
-
-
The values are interpolated with a linear curve.
-
-
The values are interpolated along a bell curve, so that each value on the ramp dominates
the region around it, then blends quickly to the next value.
-
-
The values are interpolated with a spline curve, taking neighboring indices into account
for greater smoothness.
Curve Radius
Creates a ramp which scales the of a volume axis curve. The ramp is only applicable to volume field curves.
-
-
This value indicates the position of the value. The left position on ramp represents the at the base of the curve, while the right position on the curve represents the at the tip of the curve.
-
-
This value indicates value at the
Controls the way field blends between positions on the ramp. The default setting is .
-
-
The curve is flat between points.
-
-
The volume curve radius values are interpolated with a linear curve.
-
-
The radius values are interpolated along a bell curve, so that each value on the ramp
dominates the region around it, then blends quickly to the next radius value.
