maxSpeed

Syntax

member(whichCastmember).modelResource(whichModelResource).emitter.maxSpeed

Description

3D property; when used with a model resource whose type is #particle, allows you to get and set the maximum speed at which particles are emitted. Each particle's initial velocity is randomly selected between the emitter's minSpeed and maxSpeed properties.

The value is a floating-point number and must be greater than 0.0.

Example

In this example, ThermoSystem is a model resource of the type #particle. This statement sets the maxSpeed property of ThermoSystem to 15, which causes the fastest particles of ThermoSystem to move fairly quickly. Within a given particle system, the faster a particle moves, the farther it will travel.

member("Fires").modelResource("ThermoSystem").emitter.maxSpeed=15
