display attributes

 

 

This node can display any particle or fiber attribute numerical values.

 

 

[Inputs]

 

Enabled - Enable or disable node evaluation.

 

Particle & Fiber Group - Select particle and fiber group which attributes you want to display.

 

Start ID - Attributes of particles and fibers whose ID is above this number will be shown.

 

Count - Maximum count of attributes to display.

 

Step - Determines the display reduction rate.

 

Particle ID, Age.. - Particle attributes you want to display as numerical values.

 

Custom Colors (Particles)

Mode - Selects the source value used to colour each particle's display marker. Available options:

  • Particle Group - Each particle is drawn in its own group's colour, the same colour shown elsewhere in the node graph for that group. Useful when the input is set to "All" and you want to see groups distinguished at a glance.
  • Cluster - Each particle is coloured by its cluster ID, hashed into a stable HSV-derived colour. Particles sharing a cluster always get the same colour; different clusters get visually distinct colours. Useful for inspecting clustering output, branch IDs from procedural growth nodes, or any sub-grouping driven by cluster IDs.
  • Age ??? Particle age mapped to the gradient ramp via Min and Max.
  • Mass - Particle mass mapped to the gradient ramp via Min and Max.
  • Speed - Magnitude of the particle's velocity (per-frame units), mapped to the gradient ramp via Min and Max.
  • Custom Channel - Reads a per-particle float custom channel (selected by name in the Channel input below) and maps it to the gradient ramp via Min and Max.

When Particle Group or Cluster is selected, Min, Max, and the gradient ramp are hidden ??? those modes source their colour directly. The other modes use Min and Max to define the value range that fills the ramp.

 

Channel - Name of the per-particle float custom channel sampled when Mode is set to Custom Channel. The channel must exist on the particle group and must be of type float; channels of other types are ignored. The sampled value is mapped to the [0..1] ramp range via Min and Max.

This input is hidden in modes other than Custom Channel.

 

Min ??? Source value mapped to the gradient ramp's leftmost colour (t = 0). Values at or below Min are clamped to that colour. Used together with Max to define the value window over which the ramp is stretched.

 

Max ??? Source value mapped to the gradient ramp's rightmost colour (t = 1). Values at or above Max are clamped to that colour. Used together with Min to define the value window over which the ramp is stretched.
