ObjectToParticleDataOperator

The ObjectToParticleData operator allows for easy access to object information for particles that have been imported into thinkingParticles by the ObjectToParticle operator.

Particle - (Particle) - This input data stream reads in the currently selected particle group to the Position Born operator.

Tracking - (Integer) allows to select the tracking method of this operator. Possible options are:

• 0 - None, objects will be taken at their initial and original position and rotation.
• 1 - Initial, takes the full object transformation into account including possible velocities
• 2 -  ObjectToParticle,  the animation of the object will be tracked over time and the particles will follow the object's position.

IsImported - (Bool) this output becomes True whenever the particle was created by the selected ObjectToParticle operator.

Tracking - (Integer) outputs the current tracking method for the particle

Node - (Node) outputs the node ID of the original scene object.

From the drop down list choose the ObjectToParticle operator you want to operate on. This method allows to access a specific operator from within any DynamicSet.
