The Bifröst
guideProps attributes control the behavior of the guide objects that share this property. See
Guide a Bifröst simulation of a liquid surface.
Container Attributes
- Enable
- Enables evaluation of the entire container node.
- Evaluation Type
- Controls how the node is evaluated. Normally, this should not be changed.
- Simulation
- The node gets evaluated based on the previous frame.
- Property
- The node is used only to set values used by other nodes.
- Mesh Property
- The node is used to set values on polygon mesh objects, such as emitters, colliders, accelerators, and other meshes used in a simulation.
- Per Frame
- The node is evaluated every frame, but does not depend on the previous frame. This mode can be used for animation or reading cache files.
Properties
- Enable
- Enables the mesh object to act as a guide.
Guides
- Extrude
- Extrudes the guide mesh downward before using it as a guide. Turn this option on, for example, if you are using a flat mesh with one or more emission regions to simulate an ocean surface. Turn this option off if you are using a solid mesh as a guide.
