Particular
Kaleidospace Group
The Kaleidospace group adds 3D symmetry to a particle system.
Mirror Mode Checkboxes: Defines the symmetry axes.
- Mirror on X: Particles are symmetrical along the horizontal axis.
- Mirror on Y: Particles are symmetrical along the vertical axis.
- Mirror on Z: Particles are symmetrical along the z axis (depth).
- Checking multiple axes: By checking multiple mirror axis boxes, particles become symmetrical along two or more axes. For instance, by checking Mirror On X and Y, particles become symmetrical along the horizontal and vertical axes.
From left to right, Mirror is Off, Mirror X, Mirror Y, Mirror Z with position z set to 500 pixels back, and Mirror X and Y.
Behavior pop-up: Defines the symmetry operation.
- Mirror and Remove: Works like a regular kaleidospace, where half of the image is mirrored and the other half is not visible (since it is replaced by the reflection).
- Mirror Everything: Particles are mirrored both ways, so nothing is discarded.
Behavior is set to Mirror and Remove (left) and Mirror Everything (right).
Center Position : Defines the symmetry center with x/y/z coordinates. Coordinates take effect when the corresponding Mirror value is checked (i.e., z position will adjust when Mirror on Z is selected).
