Affectors

Method #

Particle Affector nodes modify particle motion. Affectors can be connected to a Particle Root node or a Particle Mesh Deformer, which makes them effect every particle in the system. Alternatively they can be connected to an Emitter Node, whereby they only affect particles spawned from that emitter. The exception to this is the Cloth Affector, Which can only be connected to the Particle Mesh Deformer.
