pGradientForce [pGF]

Image:Icon_pGradientForce.png

The Gradient Force control accepts two inputs, one from a particle system and one from a bitmap image. The particles are affected by a force generated by the gradients in the alpha values of the input image. Particles will accelerate along the gradient, moving from white to black (high values to low).

This tool can be used to give particles the appearance of moving downhill, or of following the contour of a provided shape.

Controls Tab


Randomize

The Seed slider and Randomize button are presented whenever a Fusion tool relies on a random result. Two tools with the same seed values will produce the same random results. Click on the Randomize button to randomly select a new seed value, or adjust the slider to manually select a new seed value.


Strength

Gradient Force has only one specific control, it affects the strength of the force and acceleration applied to the particles. Negative values on this control will cause the Gradient Force to be applied from black to white (low values to high values).



Conditions and Regions Tab

Please see 'Particle Common Controls' in the Particles chapter.
