Field - Field Emitter
Method #
This node emits colour/ink into a field by reading it from another input field.
The outputs from this node are just its transforms, useful for having multiple nodes follow the same motions without controlling each of their transforms individually.
Parameters
These properties control the 3D transforms of the node. Transforms will generally be inherited by child nodes, although they can be ignored through the Inherit Transform Channels attributes.
Parameter Details
Position X Move along the local x-axis.
Position Y Move along the local y-axis.
Position Z Move along the local z-axis.
Rotation Heading Rotate around the local y-axis.
Rotation Pitch Rotate around the local x-axis.
Rotation Bank Rotate around the local z-axis.
Scale X Scale along the local x-axis.
Scale Y Scale along the local y-axis.
Scale Z Scale along the local z-axis.
Toggle which transform channels should be inherited from the parent node. By default, all transforms will be inherited.
Parameter Details
Position X Toggle inheritance of the X Position from the parent.
Position Y Toggle inheritance of the Y Position from the parent.
Position Z Toggle inheritance of the Z Position from the parent.
Rotation Heading Toggle inheritance of the Rotation Heading from the parent.
Rotation Pitch Toggle inheritance of the Rotation Pitch from the parent.
Rotation Bank Toggle inheritance of the Rotation Bank from the parent.
Scale X Toggle inheritance of the X Scale from the parent.
Scale Y Toggle inheritance of the Y Scale from the parent.
Scale Z Toggle inheritance of the Z Scale from the parent.
World Position Only Inherit the world position from the parent only, rotation and scale will be ignored. Overrides above properties.
Inherit Time Toggle inheritance of time from the parent.
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details
Output Colours Toggles whether the colours from the original field are output.
Output Velocities Toggles whether the velocities from the original field are output.
Colour Tint the colour of the original field system.
Blend Amount How much the input field blends with the current field.
Velocity Scale Scale the generated velocities from the source field.
Blend Mode How the emitter blends into the field. See Blend Modes for details.
- Solid : The emittedd ink replaces all the field.
- Linear : The emittedd ink is blended with the field.
- Additive : The emittedd ink is blended with the field.
- Subtractive : The emittedd ink is subtracted with the field.
Emit Once When enabled, the object will only emit ink once into the field.
