Daemons - Tractor

A "Tractor" daemon consists of a plane with four vertices representing the planes forces. The differences between the individual forces are interpolated to create the force field. In order to alter the daemon's height please change the parameters F1F4; if you want to change the plane use the vertical “Scale” settings under Node Params > Node.

 

 

Affect

There are two options:

  • "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 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.
F1 - F4

These values are used to adjust the strength values for each vertex separately. The arrows’ length is updated in the viewport according to your values and also indicate the direction of the forces. The parameters accept positive and negative settings.
