Field

Field  -  Defines a force-field in 3D space

A field represents forces in space that can be applied to a particles system.
A classic example of field could be the gravity field, to make the particles fall.

  • No field No field
  • Turbulences Turbulences
  • Attractor Attractor
  • Attractor with moving position Attractor with moving position
  • Friction Friction
  • Friction augmenting over a turbulence field Friction augmenting over a turbulence field
  • Vortex Vortex
  • Gravity Gravity
  • Normal Map Layer Field Normal Map Layer Field
  • Clifford Clifford
  • Lorenz Lorenz

Here is an example of a fire effect using a simple particles system and fields:

Variables:

  • Intensity: The intensity of the field
  • Masks: A field can be masked with one (or more) 3D mask(s) to modulate its strength in space

Gravity

Apply a directional force to particles

Friction

Slow particles down

Attractor

Attract particles to a point in space

Vortex

Apply a tornado motion to particles

Turbulence

Apply a random motion to particles

Layer Intensity

Field where particles move toward a certain color in a 2D layer

Normal Map Layer

Field based on a Normal Map

Lorenz Attractor

A field using the Lorenz strange attractor

Shader Field

Code your own particle field

Tracking System

Use a stage Tracking System trackers as attractors
