Using Behaviors

391

Note: The maximum speed you can define with the Dashboard is not the maximum
speed possible. Higher values can be entered into the Velocity parameter in the
Behaviors tab of the Inspector.

Parameters in the Inspector

Affect Objects: This parameter appears when this behavior is applied to an object that
contains multiple objects, such as a layer, particle emitter, replicator, or text object.
When this checkbox is turned on, all objects within the parent object are affected
individually. When this checkbox is turned off, all objects within the layer are affected
by the behavior together, as if they were a single object.

Air Thickness: A slider that adjusts how fast the object accelerates when the speed is
changed. Lower values (simulating thinner air) have less effect when pushing the
object, so it takes longer to get up to speed. Higher values (thicker air) have more
effect, and push the object up to speed more quickly.

Velocity: A slider that adjusts the speed at which the simulated air is blowing the
object. Higher values result in faster motion.
