This visual element visualizes the values of a vectorial particle property as arrows.
The Displacement vectors modifier, for example,
outputs the calculated displacement vector of each particle as a new particle property named Displacement
.
This property is linked to a corresponding Vectors visual element,
which appears under the "Visual elements" section of the pipeline editor (see screenshot),
and which generates and controls the visualization as arrows.
Note that, by default, all arrows are rendered in the same uniform color. If desired, however, you can give each arrow an individual
color by setting the Vector Color
particle property, for example using the Color Coding or
Compute Property modifiers.
Switches between a three-dimensional (normal shading) and a two-dimensional representation (flat shading) of arrows.
Arrows are scaled by this factor for visualization purposes. The default value is 1.
The diameter of arrow lines.
Controls how arrows are positioned relative to the particles they are associated with.
The display color of arrows. This uniform color is used when the Vector Color
particle property is not present. Otherwise the per-particle colors defined by the Vector Color
property
are used to render the arrows.
Flips the directions of arrows.
