Trapcode Particular

## Displace > Spherical Field

The Displace category offers two kinds of displacement models to push particles along. 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 field's effect 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 particles around. Positive values create a field that pushes particles outward. Negative values mean particles get sucked inward.

#### Radius

Radius allows you to adjust the Spherical Field's size uniformly.

#### Sphere Position

This control lets you set the Spherical Field's position along the x, y, and z axes.

#### Scale X, Y and Z

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

#### Rotate X, Y and Z

These controls allow you to rotate the spherical field on the x, y, or z axes. This works best when x, y, and z scale values are different.

#### Feather

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

#### Visualize Fields Checkbox

When this checkbox is turned on, a visual representation of the field is displayed. The x plane is in red, the y plane is in green, and the z plane is in blue. This option is turned off by default but becomes visible in the Designer when selecting the Fields block regardless of that field's strength.
