Description:

Applies variable drag to particle motion.


Instructions:

Drag can be found under Create/Space Warps/Mondo/Drag.

There are three animatable parameters:

Strength: A unitless measurement of drag strength (or viscosity). A value of 80 will approximately cut a particle's velocity in half.

Terminal Velocity: Maximum velocity (in MAX units) allowed for affected particles.

Minimum Velocity: Minimum velocity (in MAX units) allowed for affected particles.
