- "Force" accelerates the particles and they become faster and faster as long as the force is acting on them.
- “Velocity” only works with particles and adds the daemon's "Strength" value to a particles particle's speed. The resulting peak velocity remains constant during the simulation.
An example: Let's assume the daemon's "Strength" is 9.8 and the emitter's "Speed" value is 2.0. Here, a particle's velocity will be roughly 11.8 m/s.

Here you can enter a global multiplier for the spline's “@ CP “CP vortex” values. Positive values create a clockwise rotation, negative settings create a counter-clockwise rotation around the spline's path.
...
Here you can enter a global multiplier for the spline's “@ CP “CP axial” values. Positive values create an attraction effect, negative settings create a repulsion.
...
Here you can enter a global multiplier for the spline's “@ CP “CP radial” values. Positive values create an attraction to the spline's control points, negative settings create a repulsion effect.

A click on this button enables the “Edit” mode, indicated by a yellow frame around the viewport. While in “Edit” mode you are able to move (R) the control points and their handles. You also have access to a selected point's individual “@ CP” “CP” settings. Please read the → “Spline Techniques” chapters.
...
CP axial
Click on “EDIT” and select a control point to change the parameter's settings. “@ CP “CP axial” introduces a force along the spline's path. Positive values create a force in direction of the spline's last control point, negative values create a force in direction of the first control point.
...
CP radial
Click on “EDIT” and select a control point to change the parameter's settings. “@ CP “CP radial” introduces a force around the control points.
...
CP vortex
Click on “EDIT” and select a control point to change the parameter's settings. “@ CP “CP vortex” creates a rotational force around the spline's path. Positive values create a clockwise rotation, negative values create a counter-clockwise rotation.
...
CP radius
Click on “EDIT” and select a control point to change the parameter's settings. The circle around indicates the forces' scope or radius. Only particles or rigid/soft bodies inside the viewport's circles will be affected. The circles' sizes can be controlled with the yellow dot: hit the R key, select one or more dots, and move it.
...
CP link
Every control point can be linked to another node, e.g. to animate a point's position. Normally, “Null” nodes are used for this purpose, but any other node will work as well. Click on “-” for a node list.
...
CP handle smoothness
With “Smooth” both tangents are affected while moving a single handle. When you switch to “Broken” the tangents can be edited separately.
...
CP handle weighting
When set to “Even” both tangents have the same influence on the spline's curvature. With “Uneven” the tangents' influence is treated individually.
