This daemon acts on several layers. Each layer contains independent vortex parameters, and represents a zone where the particles can rotate with different velocities and directions. It is comparable to gas bands appearing on planets like Jupiter. There you have the same effect, when areas near the poles rotate significantly faster than equatorial zones, leading to a visible flattening and a so-called prolate spheroid. It is possible to control the daemon’s dimensions with Node > Scale, but this is not recommended. All parameters should be adjusted with the settings under “Layered Vortex”, because they directly affect the forces. This daemon appears as a line of points. Each time you select a layer, a different segment is displayed, indicating its zone of influence.

Affect

Particles can be affected in two ways: either by “Force” or “Velocity”. The first option applies an external force, resulting in an acceleration, while the second one modifies the velocities of the particles without introducing an additional acceleration. “Velocity” is not available for rigid bodies.
