# Projectile

### [Download Projectile](https://github.com/natecraddock/projectile/releases/download/v2.1/projectile.zip)

*Install the .zip file as an addon*

Note that Projectile is compatible with Blender v3.0+

You can also support me by purchasing the addon on Gumroad (pay-what-you-want): https://gumroad.com/l/projectile

Watch the overview video: https://youtu.be/SXRYoay-rNo

### Projectile features:

- **Trajectory Tracing:** Projectile draws trajectories for each object so you can get an idea of how the object will interact with the scene.

- **Hassle-Free Physics:** Projectile handles all the keyframing so all you have to do is set a speed and click a button! Much faster and more accurate than doing this manually.

- **Object Settings:** Each emitter has its own settings tied to it, so don't worry about making a mistake because you can always go back and change something!

- **Real-World Units:** Projectile will use the same units that are used in the .blend file, so you can use m/s or ft/s so you can truly know how fast your objects will be moving.

## Usage

Projectile is located in the Physics tab of the sidebar

- Click **Add Emitter** to set an object as a Projectile object. The execute operator will be applied and an empty (emitter) will be created at the same location as the object.

- Click **Remove Emitter** with an active emitter to remove all instances.

- Set the **Velocity** and **Angular Velocity**.

- **Number** is to set the number of instances. (Default is 1)

- **Lifetime** is to set the lifetime of the instances. 0 means the instances will not be destroyed.

- Then click **Execute**, then you can play the animation and see the results.

### Projectile Settings

- Toggle between Spherical or Cartesian coordinates for velocity.

- Choose a **Solver Quality** to increase the physics solver quality.

- **Draw Trajectories** Has options to draw all, selected, or no trajectories in the 3D View

## Blender 2.7x
