minSpeed

Syntax

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

Description

3D property; when used with a model resource whose type is #particle, allows you to get and set the minimum 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 minSpeed property of ThermoSystem to 5, which causes the slowest particles of ThermoSystem to move somewhat slowly. Within a given particle system, the slower a particle moves, the shorter the distance it will travel.

member("Fires").modelResource("ThermoSystem").emitter.minSpeed = 5
