How does a curve guide affect the velocity of a particle?
A particle follows a Curve Guide during its lifetime, the velocity depends on its lifetime and the length of the path. If you use Additive, the speed of the particles is also evaluated depending on the falloff. Use Curve weights to influence the particle influence along the curve.
What can you do with curve guide in Blender?
The Curve Guide is used to force particles to follow a certain path defined by a Curve Object . A typical scenario would be to move a red blood cell inside a vein, or to animate the particle flow in a motor. You can also use Curve Guide to shape certain hair strands. You can also use the Particle Edit Mode to define a path.
What can a curve guide be used for?
The Curve Guide is used to force particles to follow a certain path defined by a Curve Object . A typical scenario would be to move a red blood cell inside a vein, or to animate the particle flow in a motor. You can also use Curve Guide to shape certain hair strands.
Can you use curve Guide to shape hair?
You can also use Curve Guide to shape certain hair strands. You can also use the Particle Edit Mode to define a path. Since you can animate curves as a soft body or any other usual way, you may build very complex animations while keeping great control and keeping the simulation time to a minimum. The option Curve Follow does not work for particles.
What should the Min Distance be on a curve?
The distance from the curve, up to where the force field is effective with full strength. If you have a falloff of 0, this parameter will have no effect, because the field is effective with full strength up to Max Distance (or the infinity). Min Distance is shown with a circle at the endpoints of the curve in the 3D Viewport.
How does the curve guide affect soft bodies?
The Curve Guide does not affect soft bodies. The distance from the curve, up to where the force field is effective with full strength. If you have a falloff of 0, this parameter will have no effect, because the field is effective with full strength up to Max Distance (or the infinity).
