X PARTICLES 4 FOLLOW SURFACE HOW TO
In this tutorial, I have shown how to create the Curl Noise (field) based points on an object or random points, and a technique to animate the noise. These nodes allow to create a field (can be noise, a custom field, etc.), that can be used for visualization and cool graphics. Recently, Field nodes are added into the Sverchok addon.

This node allows to trace any falloff like a field with Curl and Gradient methods in 3D space or on the mesh surface. You can select more than one parameter if required.I have added the new Falloff Tracer node in the Animation Nodes + Extra Nodes for Blender. These are the parameters you want to blend. Particles which are farther apart will read a value towards the right-hand side of the spline, which in this case will give a lower blend strength.

In that case you would set the spline like so: But suppose you would like a high blend strength when particles are close together but smaller when they are farther apart. The default spline has no effect since it always returns a value of 1. The purpose of this is so you can change the strength according to distance. This is then used to read a value from the spline, which in turn is multiplied with the calculated blend strength to give the final strength value. You can see that this value will become smaller as the distance between the particles is reduced. Once the overall blend strength has been calculated from the 'Strength' and 'Multiplier' settings, a value is calculated from the ratio between the actual distance between the particles and the 'Distance' setting. This spline enables you to alter the strength of the blend by the distance between the particles. All the setting does is specify the length of time for which the modifier will affect a particle. Depending on the 'Strength', 'Multiplier' and 'Weight' settings, the change of data values from one particle to another may or may not be complete when this time is up. This is the time over which blending occurs. Intermediate values lead to a blend between the values of the particles. If it is 100%, the relevant data in the affected particle will be fully changed to that of the neighbouring particle(s). If it is zero, the particle affected by the modifier will remain unchanged. The strength of the blending - that is, the degree of blending from one particle to another. In conjunction with the 'Weight' spline, this setting also affects the strength of the blending. Particles must be less than this distance apart for any blending to take place. The modifier's effect on a particle can be halted by means of another Action, if desired. Until that point, the particle will not be affected, but once activated for a particular particle, the modifier will continue to influence it as long as it is in the field of effect of the modifier. In this mode, the modifier will only act on a particle when told to do so by an Action. X-Particle Actions have no effect on the modifier in this mode.

In this mode, particles will be affected if they come into the field of effect of the modifier. Uncheck this switch to disable the modifier.

This modifier has the following sections:įor the 'Groups Affected', 'Mapping', and 'Falloff' tabs, and for the buttons at the bottom of the interface, please see the ' Common interface elements' page. The particles can be from different emitters.

This modifier enables you to blend certain types of data between a particle and its adjacent particles, if any.
