## Object Properties

### Strength

Parameter ID: `TURBULENCEOBJECT_STRENGTH` · Range: [0..+∞m]

The strength of the turbulence.

### Scale

Parameter ID: `TURBULENCEOBJECT_SCALE` · Range: [0..+∞%]

If this value is set to 0% random velocities will be generated for each individual particle. If any other value is entered a three-dimensional noise will be applied that will affect the particles. The **Scaling** value simply defines the size of the noise. The smaller the noise the more randomly the particles will be dispersed; the larger the noise the more homogenous the particle flows will be.

### Frequency

Parameter ID: `TURBULENCEOBJECT_FREQUENCY` · Range: [-∞..+∞%]

If the noise should change over time enter a value not equal to 0. The irregular noise will generate particle streams that will change homogeneously. Lower values will cause the noise to change more slowly; larger values will cause the noise to change more quickly. A value of 0 will cause the noise to be static, resulting in a constant stream of particles in a given direction, as shown in the image below:

### Mode

Parameter ID: `PARTICLEBASE_MODE`

Here you can define how a Force Objects should affect dynamic objects (these settings have no effect on particles):

- **Acceleration**: The modifier twirls the objects around without taking their mass into consideration. Even ,heavy’ objects will behave like feathers.
- **Force**: This mode takes the objects’ mass into account, i.e., the ,heavier’ an object is the less it can be affected by the modifier.
- **Aerodynamic Wind**: This mode will actually create a flow of air (current) that will cause the objects to react according to their [aerodynamic](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/DYNRIGIDBODYTAG-RIGID_BODY_GROUP_FORCE.html.md) shape. This mode is not available for all modifiers - only for those for which it serves a useful purpose (e.g., Wind, Turbulence, etc.).

Note that when using the **Aerodynamic Wind** option, its effect will differ depending on the object over which it flows:

- **Rigid Bodies**: The wind will be calculated at the center of the Rigid Body and remain constant across the entire object surface.
- **Soft Bodies**: The wind (strength and direction) will be calculated per polygon or vertex and will affect the object accordingly.
