fluidEmitter

Go to: Related nodes. Attributes.

        The emitter node is a dependency graph node to generate particles. The
        emitter type determines that the emitter is a pointEmitter, surfaceEmitter
        or curveEmitter.
 This is a "stub" version of the emitter for use in manips work.

Long name (short name)	Type	Default	Flags
fluidDropoff (fdo)	double	2
Drop-off value for fluid emission. For volume emitters the dropoff specifies how much the emission drops off as you move away from the volume axis (dependent on the volume shape). For point, curve, and surface emitters the drop off is based on the emission point and radiates out from minDistance to maxDistance.
turbulenceType (trt)	enum	0
Determines what type of turbulence to apply to fluid emission. The default, "Gradient", applies turbulence that ranges smoothly through space. "Random" applies random turbulence.
fluidJitter (fjt)	bool	true
Determines whether emission is based on random (jitter) or fixed (no jitter) sampling. The default, Jitter on, provides better anti-aliasting around the edges of the emitting volume. Jitter off works better with the Spring-Mesh solver (Ocean and Pond wakes), and reduces "sizzling" effects in the region of the emitter.
turbulence (trb)	double	0.0
The intensity of a force simulating a turbulent wind that evolves over time.
turbulenceSpeed (trs)	double	0.2
The rate of change of the turbulence over time. The turbulence loops seamlessly every 1.0/turbulenceSpeed seconds. To animate this rate attach a new time node to the time input and animate the time value on the time node.
turbulenceFrequency (tf)	double3
This controls how many repeats of the turbulence function fit inside the bounding volume of the emitter. Low values create a very smooth turbulence.
turbulenceFrequencyX (tfx) double 1.0 repeats in X of turbulence function.
turbulenceFrequencyY (tfy) double 1.0 repeats in Y of turbulence function.
turbulenceFrequencyZ (tfz) double 1.0 repeats in Z of turbulence function.
turbulenceOffset (to)	double3
This can be used to translate the turbulence within the volume. Animating it can simulate blowing turbulent wind.
turbulenceOffsetX (tox) double 0.0 translation in X of turbulence function.
turbulenceOffsetY (toy) double 0.0 translation in Y of turbulence function.
turbulenceOffsetZ (toz) double 0.0 translation in Z of turbulence function.
detailTurbulence (dtr)	double	0.0
The relative intensity of a second higher frequency turbulence. This can be used to create fine features in large scale flows. Both the speed and the frequency on this second turbulence are higher than the primary turbulence. When the detailTurbulence is non-zero the simulation may run a bit slower, due to the computation of a second turbulence.
fluidDensityEmission (fde)	double	1.0
rate of emission into the fluid density grid
fluidHeatEmission (fhe)	double	0.0
rate of emission into the fluid temperature grid
fluidFuelEmission (ffe)	double	0.0
rate of emission into the fluid reaction grid. This is similar to emitting a fuel.
emitFluidColor (efc)	bool	false
Use particle color to emit color into the fluid color grid
emissionFunction (ef)	function	NULL
Function attribute the connected fluidShape uses to get emission from this node.
