Particle Flow - Quick Navigation

Description:

NEW in 3ds Max 2014: The Stop_Gradually operator slows down particle movement and spinning to complete stop. Once a particle loses all speed and spinning, it satisfies the test and is sent to the next event.

Constructor:

Stop_Gradually...

Properties:

Stop Type group of controls

<Stop_Gradually>.Position     BooleanClass    default: true   --  boolean

Get/set the state of "Position" checkbox.

When set to True, the Linear motion will be stopped gradually.

<Stop_Gradually>.Rotation     BooleanClass    default: true   --  boolean

Get/set the state of "Rotation" checkbox.

When set to True, the Angular motion will be stopped gradually.

Slowdown Start Time group of controls

<Stop_Gradually>.Timing_Start_Type     Integer    default: 2   --  integer

Get/set the selection of the "Timing" drop-down list.

Possible values are:

0 - Absolute Time

1 - Particle Age

2 - Event Duration (default)

<Stop_Gradually>.Slow_Down_Start_Time     Integer    default: 0   --  integer

Get/set the value of the "Time"/ "Age" / "Event Time" spinner depending on the state of the .Timing_Start_Type property.

<Stop_Gradually>.Start_Time_Variation     Integer    default: 0   --  integer

Get/set the value of the "Variation" spinner.

Stop Time group of controls

<Stop_Gradually>.Use_Different_Types     BooleanClass    default: false   --  boolean

Get/set the state of the "Use Different Timing Type" checkbox.

When set to True, the Stop Time will be set to use a different Timing option.

When set to False (default), the same timing option as the Start Time will be used for the Stop Time.

<Stop_Gradually>.Stop_Type     Integer    default: 2   --  integer

Get/set the selection of the "Timing" drop-down list.

It will be used only when .Use_Different_Types is set to True.

Possible values are:

0 - Absolute Time

1 - Particle Age

2 - Event Duration (default)

<Stop_Gradually>.Stop_Time     Integer    default: 2400   --  integer

Get/set the value of the "Time"/ "Age" / "Event Time" spinner - the name depends on the selection of the .Timing_Start_Type or .Stop_Type property (the latter is used when .Use_Different_Types is set to True).

The value is in Ticks. The default 2400 Ticks are equal to Half Second, which at 30 FPS is 15 frames.

<Stop_Gradually>.Stop_Time_Variation     Integer    default: 0   --  integer

Get/set the value of the "Variation" spinner.

Uniqueness group of controls

<Stop_Gradually>.Random_Seed     Integer    default: 21074   --  integer

Get/set the value of the "Seed" spinner.
