Turbulence Affector
Updated: 4 Dec 2023
Applies turbulent velocities to a field.Updated: 4 Dec 2023
Applies turbulent velocities to a field.This node applies turbulence to the movement vectors of a field system, applying a noisy motion with a large range of noise shapes.
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.
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 | The objects position along the local x-axis. |
Position Y | The objects position along the local y-axis. |
Position Z | The objects position along the local z-axis. |
Rotation Heading | The objects rotation around the local y-axis. |
Rotation Pitch | The objects rotation around the local x-axis. |
Rotation Bank | The objects rotation around the local z-axis. |
Scale X | The objects scale along the local x-axis. |
Scale Y | The objects scale along the local y-axis. |
Scale Z | The objects scale along the local z-axis. |
Control the inheritance of the transforms from the parent.
Parameter | Details |
---|---|
Position | Toggle inheritance of the Position from the parent. |
Rotation | Toggle inheritance of the Rotation from the parent. |
Scale | Toggle inheritance of the 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 |
---|---|
Velocity Amount | Scale the generated affector velocities. |
Randomness | The randomness of the new velocities added to the simulation. |
Noise Scale | Scale the size of the noise for the turbulence. |
Noise Threshold | Limit the low end noise that will be output to the field. |
Mode |
Choose how the turbulence effect is calculated.
|
Animation Rate | How fast the turbulence noise animates. |
Update Time Mode |
How the video is played in relation to the time code.
|
Modulate By Velocity | The strength of the affector is modulated per cell by the magnitude of the velocity of the cell, so movement is stronger in faster-moving areas. |
Modulate By Temperature | The strength of the affector is modulated per cell by the temperature of the cell, so movement is stronger in hotter areas. |
Affector Mode |
The method by which the affector is applied to the field.
|
Visualise Field | Visualise the turbulence vectors in the viewport. |
