And it only happens with locations from the UV to Location node. Any other

I would think because mm is the standard in focal lengths.
Lenses' focallengths and also sensor sizes - which also play a role in how
much the camera sees - are always given in mm.

Power is work divided by time.
Work is force multiplied by distance.
Force is acceleration multiplied by mass.
So all in all the difference between acceleration and power is a
multiplication by mass, by distance and a division by time.
acceleration = m / s^2
force = kg * m / s^2
work = kg * m^2 /

Particle 3:
Id = 2
scalararray = [x, y, z]

Velocity is the speed and direction at which an object moves.
Force is something with a strength and a direction that causes acceleration

You can just use ice for that.
It is dependant upon what the scene looks like, but there is almost always
a way to do it in ice.
If you can share a bit of insight into your scene I could probably point

I recently solved this by computing AO in ice and using that vertex map in
the rendertree which put the AO directly in the color map and was also a
lot faster. It's resolution dependant of course, but a bit of simple

You can disable behaviours on a per particle basis, but everything will
