Splines - Node
This section contains everything that has to do with a node's orientation in the viewport and its simulation states.
Position
A node's position in space is defined through X, Y, and Z components. RealFlow's → “Axis Setup” defines the vertical and horizontal axes. All values are given in metres. Click on “+” for parameter sliders.
Rotation
A node's rotation in space is defined through X, Y, and Z components. RealFlow's → “Axis Setup” defines the vertical and horizontal axes. All values are given in degrees. Click on “+” for parameter sliders.
Scale
A node's scale can be changed for each spatial direction separately. RealFlow's → “Axis Setup” defines the vertical and horizontal axes. All values are given in metres. Click on “+” for parameter sliders.
Shear
Some nodes, e.g. polygon objects, can be distorted. On many other node types, e.g. Hybrido domains or daemons, this function has no influence. RealFlow's → “Axis Setup” defines the vertical and horizontal axes. All values are given in metres. Click on “+” for parameter sliders.
Parent to
Click on the hyphen to choose a parent object. The node will then follow the parent's motions.
Color
Here you can specify a node's viewport colour. A click on the colour field opens your operating system's colour browser, a click on “+” shows → RGBA/HSV sliders.
Notes
It is possible to add node-specific notes here. Simply enter or copy/paste the text. With “+” you can expand the text field.
