Spin Operator - Relative to Velocity: SPEED Value Question - mitchfx - 03-14-2021
Just so I'm understanding it correctly, the Speed parameter in the Spin operator...
"Velocity: the threshold velocity value." (I think the online help mislabeled this as "velocity", but should be "speed"?)
Does this mean if my Spin Rate is 100, and Speed is set to 1.0, then when my particle reaches a speed of 1.0 it will achieve a spin rate of 100? If so, will it cap off at 100 even past a speed of 1.0? Or if the speed reaches 2.0 the spin rate will be 200, etc?

Yes, exactly that.
The algorithm is basically:
Code:
actualSpin = spin * speed/thresh;I'll make a note to fix the docs.

Thanks for the reply Tyson. Good to know. Looking at the code it seems that there is no "maxing out" once it reaches the threshold? It's instead just a simple multiplier, right?
