newMesh call.

Example

Syntax

member(whichCastmember).modelResource(whichModelResource).\

colorRange.start

member(whichCastmember).modelResource(whichModelResource).\

colorRange.end

Description

3D #particle model resource properties; indicate the beginning color and ending color of the

particles of a particle system.

The

start property is the color of the particles when they are created. The end property is the

color of particles at the end of their lives. The color of each particle gradually changes from the

value of

start to the value of end over the course of its life.

The start and end properties have a default value of rgb(255, 255, 255).

Example

This statement sets the colorRange properties of the model resource named ThermoSystem. The

first line sets the

start value to rgb(255, 0, 0), and the second line sets the end value to

rgb(0, 0, 255). The effect of this statement is that the particles of ThermoSystem are red when

they first appear, and gradually change to blue during their lifetimes.

member(8,2).modelResource("ThermoSystem").colorRange.start = \

rgb(255,0,0)

member(8,2).modelResource("ThermoSystem").colorRange.end = \

rgb(0,0,255)
