Test Value The specific size to test for. Default=10.0.
Variation The amount by which the value tested for can vary randomly.
Default=0.0.
To obtain the actual test value for each particle, the system multiplies the
Variation value by a random number between -1.0 and 1.0, and then adds the
result to the Test Value setting. For example, if Test Value=10 and Variation=5,
then the tested value for each particle would be between 5 and 15.
Scale group
These settings are available when Type is set to Scale.
Test Value The specific scaling factor to test for. Default=100%.
Variation The amount by which the value tested for can vary randomly.
Default=0.0%.
To obtain the actual test value for each particle, the system multiplies the
Variation value by a random number between -1.0 and 1.0, and then adds the
result to the Test Value setting. For example, if Test Value=100% and
Variation=10%, then the tested value for each particle would be between 90%
and 110%.
Test Value Offset Keying group
Sync By Choose the time frame to use when animating Test Value and
Variation:
■ Absolute Time Any keys set for parameters are applied at the actual frames
for which they're set.
■ Particle Age Any keys set for parameters are applied at the corresponding
frames of each particle's existence.
■ Event Duration Any keys set for parameters are applied to each particle
starting when it first enters the event.
Uniqueness group
The Uniqueness setting enables randomization of the test value variation.
Available only when either Variation value exceeds 0.0.
Seed Specifies a randomization value.
New Calculates a new seed using a randomization formula.
