ViewportColor

The ViewportColor node allows to assign specific colors to particles in the playback viewport. This color may be either a fixed color or dependent on any value (speed, age).

Operator Inputs 

ON - (Bool) This input data stream determines whether the operator is considered 'on' or 'off'. You can connect other operators to this input channel such as a Bool Helper to activate/deactivate the whole operator.

Time
- (Time) This input data stream is used to define the local time for the operator when the user wants to override the default system time.

Particle
- (Particle) This input data stream reads in the currently selected particle group that is to be used as the source for the particle transfer. This data stream MUST be connected and will be highlighted yellow if it is not.

Value - sets the value to be used by the color gradient to lookup the color for the particle.  One would usually feed in velocity or age of the particle.

Min Value - sets the minimum value for the color gradient (left most color to be used)

Max Value - defines the maximum value for the color gradient (right most color)

Color - sets one fixed color for the particles in the viewport.

Operator Outputs 

No Operator Outputs.
