This compound applies random values to several parameters in the Emit compound: Rate, Direction, Speed, Mass, and Size.
Plug this compound's Result output into any of these ports mentioned of the Emit compound.
For more information on randomization, see Randomizing Particle Values.
Tasks: Particles/Emission Control
Output Ports: result
|
Min Value |
Minimum value of the range used for randomizing the parameter value. A larger range of values yields a more obvious randomization effect. |
|
Max Value |
Maximum value of the range used for randomizing the parameter value. |
|
Seed |
This number is used as the basis for the randomization. Changing the seed value creates different random generations of values without having to change the minimum and maximum value range. |
|
Distribution Type |
Determines how the randomization is applied to the values using one of these methods: • Uniform: random numbers are distributed uniformly: every value within the variance range is equally likely to be generated; • Gaussian: random numbers are distributed as a bell curve. Values close to the mean value are more likely to be generated. The likelihood smoothly diminishes as values are further from the mean; • Triangle: random numbers are distributed as a triangle that is peaked at the top. The likelihood of a value to be generated diminishes linearly as values are further from the mean; • Profile Curve: allows you to sculpt the distribution. The zero X value of the curve corresponds to the mean, while -1 and 1 are the limits of the distribution specified by the variance. The curve's values outside of this range are ignored. |
