The information for each particle detailing its located, movement and life.

class c4d.Particle
Public variable
Parameters:
  • off (Vector) – The current position of the particle.
  • v1 (Vector) – This vector is usually calculated by CINEMA when using the Tangential option in the particle emitter. The vectors v1 and v3 are used to form the axes to align the direction in which the objects attached to the particles are aligned.
  • v3 (Vector) – The current velocity of the particle (speed and direction).
  • t (float) – The current time from the particles birth, this is the age of the particle.
  • bits (int) –

    The flags for the particles state.
