Use Input Orbit Axis

Toggles the use of the global axis value that you enter below.

Input Orbit Axis

The global XYZ axis around which the particles orbit.

Set Orbit Altitude

Toggles the use of the Orbit Altitude value that you enter below.

Orbit Altitude

Determines the size of the circumference of the orbit that the particles make around the controller object. This value is in Softimage units.

Use Current Velocity

The type of velocity used to calculate how the particles orbit around the object:

• Use Current Velocity uses the particle's current velocity.

• Set Velocity Using Orbits Per Second Value uses the Orbits Per Second value that you enter below.

Orbits per second

If you selected Set Velocity Using Orbits Per Second Value, you need to set the number of times per second that the particles revolve aroun the object.

Controller object Name

The object around which the particles orbit. Plug the object's Output Name output into this port.
