This compound twists the strand starting from its base at the particle. This creates a twist around either the particle's local axis or the strand's axis, like a spiral.
Create strands with the Create Strands or Generate Strand Trails compound, then plug this compound's Execute output into a Port on the ICETree node.
For more information on strand compounds, see ICE Particle Strands.
Tasks: Particles/Strands
Output Ports: Execute

Select Twist Type |
Select the method by which the strand is twisted: Twist Around Strand Local Axis uses each strand's vector to twist the shape around the strand; Twist Around Particle Local Axis uses each particle's local orientation axis as the vector to twist the shape around the strand. |
|
Twist Amount |
The number of degrees in which the strand is rotated around the vector type you selected. A value of 360 is a full rotation. |
|
Twist Distribution Profile |
This curve defines how the twist amount is distributed along the strand, starting from the strand's base (key on the left) to the tip (key on the right). |
