Get number of currently active diffuse particles.

Returns

The number of currently active diffuse particles.

virtual void setMaxActiveDiffuseParticles(PxU32 maxActiveDiffuseParticles) = 0

Set the maximum possible number of diffuse particles for this buffer.

Note

Must be in the range [0, PxParticleAndDiffuseBuffer::getMaxDiffuseParticles()]

Parameters

maxActiveDiffuseParticles – [in] the maximum number of active diffuse particles.

virtual PxU32 getMaxDiffuseParticles() const = 0

Get maximum possible number of diffuse particles.

Returns

The maximum possible number diffuse particles.

virtual void setDiffuseParticleParams(const PxDiffuseParticleParams &params) = 0

Set the parameters for diffuse particle simulation.

See PxDiffuseParticleParams

Parameters

params – [in] The diffuse particle parameters.

virtual PxDiffuseParticleParams getDiffuseParticleParams() const = 0
