This page provides information about the V-Ray Particle Type of the V-Ray Particles geometry.

Overview

The V-Ray Particle Type is suitable for mesh particles. It allows for fast rendering of multiple particles and particle systems. Choose your desired particle shape and create effects such as rain, hail and snow. You can also apply a V-Ray Light material or node to the particles or increase their self-illumination properties to creates a fairy dust effect.

Parameters

Render Type – Determines the type of particles to render. Different options are available for each render type.

Spheres

Override Radius – When enabled, the radius of the spheres can be set manually, using the Radius option.

Radius – Determines the radius of the spheres in scene units.

Multi-Points

Point Size – Determines the size of the points in pixels.

Point Radii – When enabled, renders the points using the per particle radius instead of the constant point size.

Point World Size – By default the size of the Points is given in pixels on the screen. If this option is checked, the point size is assumed to be in world space.

Point Size from Ortho Width – When enabled, determines the Points size according to the Ortho (spherical) width of the points or their diameter.

Multi Count – A multiplier for the number of points generated.

Multi Radius – A multiplier for the radius of the points.

Multi-Streak

Multi Count – A multiplier for the number of streaks.

Multi Radius – A multiplier for the radius of each streak.

Line Width – Determines the width of the streak lines.

Tail Length – Determines the length of the streak lines.

Points

Point Size – Determines the size of the points in pixels.

Point Radii – When enabled, renders the points using the per particle radius instead of the constant point size.

Point World Size – By default the size of the Points is given in pixels on the screen. If this option is checked, the point size is assumed to be in world space.

Point Size from Ortho Width – When enabled, determines the Points size according to the Ortho (spherical) width of the points or their diameter.

Streak

Line Width – Determines the Width of the streak line.

Tail Length – Determines the tail of the streak.
