Star body<br />
<strong>FINALE</strong> <strong>Fireworks</strong> <strong>User</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />
The Star body controls let you fine-tune a star’s mass so that it’s more or less susceptible to air friction,<br />
gravity, and wind. These attributes only affect the stars’ trajectories; they don’t modify the size or appearance<br />
of the stars.<br />
The Star body values aren’t affected by changes in the Shell body tab.<br />
Name<br />
Weight<br />
Attribute<br />
Slider (Scaler; 1.0 = natural weight)<br />
Sets the weight of a single star. A value of 1.0 is the star’s “natural” weight. If you increase the value, the star<br />
becomes heavier and is pulled back to Earth more quickly. Smaller values make the star lighter and so the<br />
straight-outward portion of its trajectory is less affected by gravity.<br />
Momentum<br />
Slider (Scaler; 1.0 = natural momentum loss)<br />
As a star consumes its pyrotechnic material, it loses mass and momentum, and thus slows down and<br />
becomes increasingly more susceptible to the effects of the wind and air friction. This attribute lets you set<br />
the scale of the star’s ultimate momentum (the point at which it has exhausted its material) compared to its<br />
burst momentum. A value of 1.0 produces a “natural” momentum loss. If you increase the value, the star<br />
maintains more of its momentum over the course of its trajectory. If you decrease the value, the star loses<br />
momentum more quickly.<br />
Wind resistance<br />
Slider (Scaler; 1.0 = natural wind resistance)<br />
Sets the star’s susceptibility to the wind and air friction. A value of 1.0 produces a slight, natural resistance.<br />
Decreasing the slider’s value makes the star less affected by the wind, causing its trajectory to straighten and<br />
elongate. Increasing the value increases the effect of the wind and air friction on the star, shortening its<br />
trajectory and bending it in the direction of the wind.<br />
