Lagoa Gradient Data

 
 
 

Maps a color gradient to different element data that is calculated in the simulation framework.

Plug the Set Color output into the Set Color port of the Material node; plug the Color output into any Color port, such as in the Material node.

You can also select a point cloud and choose Particles After Emission Lagoa Particles Color from Gradient Data from the ICE toolbar to have this node set up in the point cloud's ICE tree.

The Lagoa Gradient Data node plugged into the Lagoa Phase node, with the Data option set to Velocity.

Tasks: Lagoa/Data

Output Ports: Set Color, Color

Data

The type of element data for which you want to display a color gradient: Density, Velocity, or Stress.

Gradient Color

The color gradient used for the particle Data based on the Min/Max values below.

See the Gradient node for more information.

Gradient Range

Fits the gradient range to the point cloud:

  • Automatic — fits for the range available at the current frame.

  • Manual — computes the range based on the Min/Max values below.

For example, let's say that density is from 0 to 2 on the solver steps, but you want to map a gradient that fits the density from 1 to 2. If you set the Min/Max values to 1/2, the density values below 1 are mapped to the leftmost color on the gradient.

Min

The minimum Data value to be affected by the color gradient. This value corresponds to the leftmost color on the gradient.

Max

The maximum Data value to be affected by the color gradient. This value corresponds to the rightmost color on the gradient.
