Parameters

These are the parameters to control the rendering of the particle cloud: 

...

  • File Name: Path to the .BIN particle file 
  • Radius Factor: Multiplier for the original radius value of each particle. 
  • MB Factor: Multiplier for the particles motion blur value. 
  • Shutter 1/s: Shutter speed indicated in the fluid simulation. 
  • Load particles (%): Percentage of the particles to be rendered. 
  • Particles per particles: also known as Multiparticles. You can generate more particles from the original ones included in the .BIN file. This way, a lighter simulation with a small amount of particles can produce a more dense cloud by multiplying them at render time. The new particles are affected by the speed of the original ones. 
  • Particles dispersion: Distribute the newly generated particles with this dispersion value around the original particle. 
  • Particles deformation: The new particles can be evenly generated inside a sphere around the original one, or inside an ellipsoid with this value of eccentricity. The ellipsoid is aligned along the direction of the particle speed. 
  • Load particle Force: Load the force value of each particle from the .BIN file. 
  • Load particle Vorticity: Load the vorticity value of each particle from the .BIN file, between a minimum and maximum values. 
  • Load particle Normal: Load the normal value of each particle from the .BIN file. 
  • Load particle Neighbors (number of): Load a number of neighbors per particle, between a minimum and maximum values. 
  • Load particle UV: Load the UV coordinates of each particle from the .BIN file. 
  • Load particle Age: Load the age value of each particle, between a minimum and maximum values. 
  • Load particle Isolation Time: Load the isolation time value of each particle, between a minimum and maximum values. 
  • Load particle Viscosity: Load the viscosity value of each particle, between a minimum and maximum values. 
  • Load particle Density: Load the density value of each particle, between a minimum and maximum values. 
  • Load particle Pressure: Load the pressure value of each particle, between a minimum and maximum values. 
  • Load particle Mass: Load the mass value of each particle, between a minimum and maximum values. 
  • Load particle Temperature: Load the temperature value of each particle, between a minimum and maximum values. 
  • Load particle ID: Load the ID of each particle from the .BIN file. 

 

Particle test with its original settings and a white diffuse material applied

 

Multiplying the number of particles and reducing its radius to get an smoke look. The material is a plain diffuse grey, as the transparency is derived from the particles density
