orklev2-particles

What problem does it solve?

Provides concise, code-backed answers and usage guidance for Orkid's lev2 particle system so developers and artists can design, configure, and debug particle graphs without scouring the codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Dataflow architecture reference: explains the modular dataflow graph, module lifecycle, plug types, and topological execution order for reliable particle processing.
• Emitter, force, and renderer details: documents nozzle, ring, line, and elliptical emitters; gravity, turbulence, vortex, drag, and attractor forces; and sprite, streak, and light renderers with key parameters and formulas.
• Pool management and performance: describes particle pool allocation, aging, reap logic, and triple-buffered renderer synchronization for thread-safe CPU→GPU updates.
• Materials and Python bindings: describes available material types, renderer inputs, and example Python code to assemble and wire a particle graph for scene integration.

Quick Start

Create a small Python particle graph that allocates a Pool, connects a NozzleEmitter to a Gravity module and a SpriteRenderer, and run it in a drawable.
