Displace - Spherical Field

The Displace category offers two kinds of displacement models to push along the particles. The one discussed here is Spherical Field, which is a displacement field in the form of a sphere. The sphere can either push particles outward or suck them in. Spherical Field is not a force field, the effect of the field is instant, and does not leave a trace once the field is removed.

Strength

Strength is the directional displacement amount with which the field pushes the particles around. Positive values create a field that pushes particles outward. Negative values mean particles get sucked inward.

Strength 0	Strength Positive	Strength Negative

Radius

Allows you to adjust the size of the spherical field uniformly.

Sphere Position

Set the position of the Spherical field along the X, Y and Z axes.

Scale X, Y and Z

Sets the size of the Spherical Field on a specific axis. Making the value smaller decreases the size of the field on that axis.

A spherical field with a lower y scale value.

Rotate X, Y and Z

Allows you to rotate the spherical field on thex,y or z axis. Works best when the scale x,y, and z values are different.

Feather

Feather sets the Softness of the edges of the Spherical Field. Higher values make a softer field.

Visualize Fields Checkbox

When this checkbox is turned on, a visual representation of the field is displayed. X plane is in red, Y plane is in green, Z plane is in blue. This is turned off by default. This becomes visible in the Designer when selecting the Fields block regardless of the strength of that field.
