You can quickly and easily create velocity values using this node. Velocity has both a speed and a direction. Provide the node with the desired speed and direction via its inputs and the node will output the corresponding velocity, which you can then pass to a PSetData node in order to set the velocity of particles. Note that velocity uses the Vector data type.
