Contents > With Curve > 
- Density
-
Sets the density value
of the fluid contents that are inserted by the curve. The default
amount of density is 1.000.
- Velocity
-
Sets the velocity value
(magnitude and vector) for the fluid contents that are inserted
by the curve. The default value is 1.000.
- Temperature
-
Sets the temperature
value of the fluid contents that are inserted by the curve. The
default temperature value is 1.000.
- Fuel
-
Sets the fuel value of
the fluid contents that are inserted by the curve. The default fuel
value is 1.000.
- Color
-
Sets the color value
of the fluid contents that are inserted by the curve. The default
color is red.
- Falloff
-
Sets the falloff value
of the fluid contents that is inserted by the curve. (If you don’t
want the fluid to appear in part of the volume, you can specify
a falloff region by using a curve in a container.)
- Operation
-
Lets you Add to
or Replace the contents of the affected
voxels. Replace is on by default.
- Number Of Curve Samples
-
Sets the number of samples
that are calculated along the curve. For example, if you set the number
of curve samples to 1, only one fluid sample on one voxel is generated.
For best results, set the number of samples to a number that is
greater than the number of voxels you want to affect. The maximum
number of samples is 1000.
- Radius
-
Defines the radius in
which the fluid contents are inserted along the curve. The radius
is measured in the same units as those set in your global user defined
preferences. For more information, see Working Units in Settings preferences
in the Maya Help.
- Curvature-Based Velocity
-
Sets the velocity of
the fluid contents inserted along the curve to the value specified
in the Velocity field. When this attribute
is on, the velocity’s magnitude decreases at high curvature points
along the curve and increases at low curvature points. When this
attribute is off, the velocity is stabilized at the specified velocity value
and the velocity draw arrows all appear the same length. Curvature-Based
Velocity is off by default.
- Set Initial State
-
Sets the selected fluid
container’s Initial State when the contents
are applied.
