This field is only available when “Material” is set to “From File”. With a click into the empty field you can load any valid MXM file.

@ Material shininess

This parameter is only available with “Material” set to “From Node”. Increasing this parameter creates stronger specular reflections and highlights. with very high settings you will get a mirror-like look and the original colour vanishes. Accepted values range from 0 to 100.

@ Material roughness

This parameter is only available with “Material” set to “From Node”. Higher settings will blur the specular highlights. Please avoid exaggerated settings. Accepted values range from 0 to 100.

UV channel

Particle attributes like velocity can be rendered:

...

With this parameter you can define a zone around an existing particle where the new particles are created. “Dispersion” is given in metres. A good starting value is close to the used “Radius” parameter.

Radius

...

mode

You have two options:

  • “Constant radius” uses the “@ Radius factor” parameter for scaling the particles.
  • “Use particle radius” reads out the particles' radius channel and multiplies it with “@Radius factor”. Some particle types (→ Dyverso, → HyFLIP) do not provide a radius channel and here only “@ Radius factor” will be applied. The best results can be achieved with → HySPH secondary elements.
@ Radius factor

This value determines the final size of a particle when being rendered. There is a close connection to “Radius mode”, so please take a look at this parameter description as well. This value is given in metres.
