New particles are being added to a standard particle fluid "Container01" node. Be aware that the number of particles can grow quickly, and we recommend using low-resolution objects for this example:

# Load Python's random number generator import random # Create random number and define a threshold ("speedLimit") rndNumber = random.uniform(-0.2,0.2) speedLimit = 2.5 # Get the standard particle emitter "Container01" and its collision object "Sphere01" emitter = scene.get_PB_Emitter("Container01") collisionObject = scene.getObject("Sphere01") # Check if there is a collision object # Since the scene only contains one collision object "Sphere01" no further separation is required if (len(collisionObject.getCollidingObjects()) > 0): # Get the "Sphere01" node's vertices and its velocity vertices = collisionObject.getVertices() objectVelocity = collisionObject.getVelocity() # Loop through every vertex and compare its velocity against "speedLimit" # If the vertex's velocity is greater than or equal to "speedLimit", change the point's velocity for vertex in vertices: if (objectVelocity.module() >= speedLimit): vertexVelocity = vertex.getVelocity() vertexVelocity.scale(1.2 + rndNumber) emitter.addParticle(vertex.getPosition(), vertexVelocity) |

Get a torus object's polygons and get the three vertices of each polygon. Then, calculate each polygon's midpoint and place a particle there:
