The vectors are generated at lattice intersections inside the vector field range.
Show Range Displays the volume about the obstacle object within which
vectors are generated, as an olive-colored wireframe. Default=on.
The range starts out the same shape and size as the obstacle object, and is
typically enlarged with the Compute Vectors group > Range setting.
Show Vector Field Displays vectors, which appear as blue lines emanating
outward from lattice intersections within the range volume. Default=off.
Show Surface Samples Displays short green lines emanating from sample
points on the surface of the obstacle object. Default=off.
These appear only after you've
computed on page 4923 the vector field. See
Sample Resolution on page 4923 for more information.
VectorScale Scales the vectors so they're more visible or less obtrusive.
Default=1.0.
NOTE This setting does not affect the strength of the vectors; only their visibility.
Icon Size Adjusts the size of the Vector Field space warp icon, a pair of crossed
double-headed arrows. Increase the size for easier viewport selection.
Default=size originally drawn in viewport.
Force group
These parameters determine how the vector field affects objects within its
volume.
Changing any of the Force group settings does not require that you recalculate
the vector field.
NOTE Using a vector field does not guarantee that delegates or particles remain
at a particular distance from the obstacle. In some cases you might have to animate
the Strength, Falloff, and/or Pull settings to keep delegates within the vector field.
