Birth Script の例

説明:

次の例では、既定値の Birth_Script スクリプト (詳細コメント付き) を示します。

用途:

このスクリプトは、Birth_Script アクション内の既定値のスクリプトとして使用されます。

効果:

このスクリプトによって、きれいなパーティクル パターン(正弦カーブによって作成されたらせんなど)が生成されます。このスクリプトによる効果を確認するには、以下を実行します。

• 3ds Max の[作成]パネルから、シーン内に既定値の PF_Source を作成します。

• [パーティクル ビュー]を開きます。

• Birth アクションを Birth_Script アクションで置き換えます。

• Speed、Position、および Rotation の各オペレータを削除します。

• 時間を取り消します。

例:

    --The ChannelsUsed handler defines the channels
    --to be made available to the script.
    --For the list of all channels, see
    --Interface: MaxscriptParticleContainer
    --The parameter pCont passed to the handler
    --contains the Particle Container the script is applied to
    on ChannelsUsed pCont do
    (
    pCont.useTime = true--enable the Time channel
    pCont.useAge = true--enable the Age channel
    pCont.usePosition = true--enable the Position channel
    pCont.useSpeed = true--enable the Speed channel
    )

    --The Init handler is called on initialization.
    --It is not used in this case.
    on Init pCont do
    (
    )

    --The Proceed handler contains the main script
    --applied to the Particles.
    --The parameter pCont passed to the handler
    --contains the Particle Container the script is applied to:
    on Proceed pCont do
    (
    --Get the Start Time as float. This converts the time to ticks.
    t1 = pCont.getTimeStart() as float
    --Get the End Time as float. This converts the time to ticks.
    t2 = pCont.getTimeEnd() as float

    --Clamp negative time values to 0
    if (t1 < 0)then(t1 = 0)

    --If the end time is less than 100 frames
    --(100 frames * 160 ticks per frame in 30 fps NTSC)
    if (t2 < 100*160) do
    (
    --then do a loop using the time values divided by 8
    --this way a particle will be created every 8 ticks
    for i in (t1/8+1) to (t2/8) do
    (
    --set the variable curTime to the actual time in ticks
    curTime = 8*i as float
    --give birth to a new particle
    pCont.AddParticle()
    --get the index of the last particle that was added
    pCont.particleIndex = pCont.NumParticles()
    --set the current time of the particle in frames
    --(160 ticks in one frame at 30 fps NTSC animation)
    pCont.particleTime = curTime/160
    --Set the age of the particle to 0 - newborn!
    pCont.particleAge = 0
    --Define a radius variable based on the sine of the current time
    sh = 2*sin(5*curTime)
    --Define an angle variable based on the current time
    ang = 0.2*curTime
    --Set the particle position using the above variables
    pCont.particlePosition = [sh*sin(ang), sh*cos(ang), 0]
    --Define the speed using the same variables and falling down along Z
    pCont.particleSpeed = [0.01*sin(ang), 0.01*cos(ang), -0.005]
    )
    )
    )

    --The Release handler is used to do cleanup work.
    --Not used in this case.
    on Release pCont do
    (
    )
