Examples

VBScript Example

NewScene , false
set ParTypeCollection = CreateObject( "XSI.Collection" )

set oRtnCol = CreateParticleType()
set oPartSnow = oRtnCol(0)
oPartSnow.Name = "Snow"
ParTypeCollection.Add oPartSnow

set oRtnCol = CreateParticleType()
set oPartRainDrop = oRtnCol(0)
oPartRainDrop.Name = "RainDrop"
ParTypeCollection.Add oPartRainDrop

set oRoot = Application.ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root
set oParticleCloud = oRoot.AddParticleCloud( ParTypeCollection , "MyCloud" )

set oParticleCloudPrim = oParticleCloud.ActivePrimitive
