When you reduce the Space Scale value, Maya evaluates the objects in
the simulation as if they were much smaller in size. This results in a visibly
increased gravitational affect on the nParticles.
4 Play back your simulation.
When you play back the simulation, notice that the nParticles are now
falling from the candy package at a realistic speed.
Adjusting nParticle size and color
You can adjust nParticleShape node attributes to specify how the particles
look, move, and collide with other Nucleus objects. Adjusting the emitter
attributes also affects the overall characteristics of your nParticle simulation.
To make the nParticles look and behave like candy, you will increase their
size, change their color, and make their surfaces sticky.
To increase nParticle size
1 In the Outliner, select nParticle1.
2 In the Attribute Editor, click the nParticleShape tab.
3 In the Particle Size section, set Radius to 1.8.
To change the color of the nParticles
1 In the Shading section, go to Color.
2 Click the far left circle marker (at Selected Position 0) of the ramp.
3 Click the color swatch beside Selected Color.
