SOFTWARE

The robust VxParticles module provides powerful and realistic particle effects that allow you to:

• Simulate natural phenomena and industrial materials through particles interacting among themselves, and with other simulated physical objects
• Model multiple particle systems – each with unique properties
• Define physical properties such as mass and charge
• Manage particle spawning: particle fractions, spawn instances, particles spawned, spawn speed, and spawn spread
• Define particle lifecycles according to time, speed or collision
• Work with particle emitters of various shapes, including spheres, disks, and mesh
• Set emission rate, mean, and standard speed deviation, and velocity angular spread
• Insert global forces such as wind, gravity, damping, and magnetic and/or electrical fields
• Define attractive or repellent interactions, as well as the range and strength of interactions
• Determine interactions between particles in a single particle system or in multiple systems
• Create collision events and interactions, optimized through a 3D spatial data structure
• Employ a multi-threaded smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) implementation to simulate liquids of different viscosity and density, as well as the buoyancy of rigid bodies
• Fill given volumes with particles, using existing or custom fillers, and simulate the flow of the particles in volumes and open channels
• Use particle grid support for fast collision detection and quick localized access to particles
• Define a property initializer and stepper for automatic initialization and evolution of particle properties
• Configure an event mechanism for user-defined events and listeners to rule the evolution of your particle system
