This daemon simulates external air drag forces that slow down particles.

 


Drag strength

This values typically ranges between 0 and 1, but can also accept higher settings. High settings can force particles and bodies to stop completely. With high values we recommend to use a bounded daemon.

Force Limit

This setting accepts any positive or negative value and is used to restrict the daemon's maximum strength.

Bounded

You can choose from these two types:

  • “Square” applies a box at the daemon's centre.
  • “Sphere” applies a sphere at the daemon's centre.

Both options unlock the daemon’s ability to create an attenuated force field. You can also change the shape’s size with the "Object" parameters or Maya's scale tools and parameters.

Attenuation

This option create a fall-off depending on the distance to the force’s origin. You can choose from “Linear”, “Square” and “Cubic”, while “Cubic” creates the fastest fall-off.
