Particle Flow - Quick Navigation

Description:

ShapeStandard used to be the default operator for defining the geometry used in the Particle Flow system prior to 3ds Max 2010. It is still creatable by MAXScript and exposed internally for backwards compatibility. The new default operator for defining geometry since 3ds Max 2010 is the ShapeLibrary Operator which provides a lot more options.

Constructor:

shapeStandard... 

Properties:

<ShapeStandard>.Shape Integer default:0 

Specifies the shape. Possible values are:

0: Tetra - These tetrahedron-shaped particles have a four triangular sides. Having only four polygons, the tetra is the simplest of the rendering particle shapes

1: Cube - These box-shaped particles have six square sides, all the same size

2: Sphere - Creates spherical particles. The sphere has the most polygons of the rendering particle shapes, and its orientation isn't obvious.

3: Vertex - Use this option to create non-rendering particles whose sole attribute is their location. This can be useful when using script operators

<ShapeStandard>.Size Float default:10.0 --world units 

Sets the overall size of the particles in system units.

<ShapeStandard>.Use_Scale Boolean default:false 

When set to True, the .Scale value will be used.

<ShapeStandard>.Scale_Value Float default:100.0 --percentage 

Sets the size of the particles as a percentage of the .Size value.
