Setting nParticle object properties

nParticle object properties determine the physical characteristics of all the nParticles belonging to the object. These properties affect how the nParticles look and how the nParticle objects move and collide with other Nucleus objects. If you create an emitted nParticle system, the emitter attributes also affect the overall characteristics of your nParticle simulation.

See the following sections:

• nParticle per-particle attributes
• nParticle Lifespan and Size properties
• nParticle Collisions attributes and Dynamic Properties
• Shading properties
• Setting nParticle emitter properties
• Force Field Generation properties
• Liquid Simulation properties
• Goal properties
• Instancing properties
• nParticle collision events
• Constraining nParticles
• nParticles and external dynamic forces
