Published nodes

Effects Assets are composed of Dynamics-related nodes, including fluid effects, Nucleus, and nCloth nodes, encapsulated in an advanced asset. Not all encapsulated nodes are published to the asset. To see the nodes published to the asset, expand the Published nodes section in the effects asset Attribute Editor. For more information on Assets, see Assets.

Nodes that are published to the asset use the following naming conventions:

Published node name Node type Role in asset
childAnchor transform Published when the node needs to be parented to an object outside the asset.
selectionTransform transform Published to transform encapsulated nodes of a freestanding effect.
nucleusSolver nucleus Solves Nucleus object interaction, including passive collision objects outside the asset.
targetFluid fluidShape Fluid container that is emitted into for fluid emission, including the surface of objects outside the asset.
targetParticle nParticleShape nParticle object that is emitted, including the surface of objects outside the asset.
exampleFluidEmitter fluidemitter Fluid emitter when emitting from a surface, including surfaces of objects outside the asset.

See the Note below.

exampleParticle Emitter emitter nParticle emitter when emitting from a surface, including surfaces of objects outside the asset.

See the Note below.

exampleParticle nParticleShape nParticle object when the effect fills an object with nParticles (Fill Object).

See the Note below.

exampleNCloth nClothShape nCloth object used in the effect.

See the Note below.

Note: If a node in the effects asset is published as an example node (for example, exampleFluidEmitter), when the asset is applied to an object in the scene (Effects > Apply Effect), the example node is used to the attributes on the corresponding object.
