# Blender.Effect module and the Effect PyType effect

"""
|

The Blender.Effect submodule
|
|
|
|
B{new}: now L{Get}('objname') (without specifying second paramenter: 'position') returns a list of all effects linked to object "objname".

|
|
INTRODUCTION
|
|
|
|
The Effect module allows you to access all the data of particle effects.
|
|
An effect can modify a mesh object using particles, where vertex of
|
|
the mesh emits particles, which can themselves emit new particles.
|
|
|
|
In the Blender internals, the effect object is just a placeholder for
|
|
the particle effect. Prior to v2.39 build and wave effects were also
|
|
supported by Blender, and the Python API supported all three types of
|
|
effects. They were removed in v2.39 when the build and wave modifiers
|
|
were implemented.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
import Blender
|
|
listffects = Blender.Effect.Get()
|
|
print listeffects
|
|
eff = listeffects[0]
|
|
#we suppose the first effect is a build effect
|
|
print eff.getLen()
|
|
eff.setLen(500)
|
|
|
|
@type Flags: read-only dictionary
|
|
@var Flags: The particle effect flags. Values can be ORed.
|
|
- SELECTED: The particle effect is selected in the UI. (Read-only)
|
|
- BSPLINE: Use a B-spline formula for particle interpolation
|
|
- STATIC: Make static particles
|
|
- ANIMATED: Recalculate static particles for each rendered frame
|
|
- VERTS: Emit particles from vertices
|
|
- FACES: Emit particles from faces
|
|
- EVENDIST: Use even distribution based on face area (requires FACES)
|
|
- TRUERAND: Use true random distribution based on face area (requires FACES)
|
|
- UNBORN: Make particles appear before they are emitted
|
|
- DIED: Make particles appear after they have died
|
|
- EMESH: Render emitter mesh
|
|
|
|
@type SpeedTypes: read-only dictionary
|
|
@var SpeedTypes: The available settings for selecting particle speed vectors.
|
|
Only one setting is active at a time.
|
|
- INTENSITY: Use texture intensity
|
|
- RGB: Use RGB values
|
|
- GRADIENT: Use texture gradient
