- Volume Shape
-
Indicates the shape of volume the emitter will use if the emitter is of volume type. Has an effect only if emitter type is Volume. Otherwise volume controls are disabled.
- Volume Offset X, Y, Z
-
This is the parent attribute for the translational offset of the emission volume's center from the emitter's origin.
- Volume Sweep
-
The arc of the volume emission. Used for sphere, cone, cylinder and torus.
- Section Radius
-
Applies to torus volumes only. Defines the radius of a section of the torus.
- Normalized Dropoff
-
When on, dropoff for volume emitters is fixed relative to the emitter’s scale, rather than to Worldspace. This ensures that fluid simulations remain consistent if the fluid container and emitter are scaled together. It also improves Fluid Dropoff for Cube volume emitters by using a smooth dropoff towards the volume boundaries. In previous versions of Maya, a cylindrical pattern dropoff is used with Cube volume emitters.
