It will delay the point positions in an object, and cause them to catch up over a period of time. These options are only available when HyperVoxels have been applied to an object. Hardlink keeps the geometry rigid and will displace it based on the Piece Mode setting. When you use FX_Hardlink, the monkeys take on the motion of the 2-point polygon chain. It is the parent of a single layered object that is made up of four monkeys. In the example below, Cloth Dynamics is applied to a 2-point polygon chain made up of (x4) 2-point polygons. In most cases the dynamic object contains very few polygons (2-point polygons) while the “HardLink” object has a higher polygon count. FX_HardlinkįX_Hardlink is a very powerful tool that allows you to use the dynamic motion from one object and apply it to another. With World Coordinates checked, the XYZ variables in the expression are in world space, not local space. The After Bones option will cause the displacement to occur after bone displacement. You can set independent expressions for the XYZ point displacements using the Channel pop-up menu.Some global options are available that are not on the channel modifier version. Positive values repel and negative values attract.Įxpression is a sister plugin to the Expression channel modifier. The impact of the effector object is set and animated by keyframing its XYZ Size channels. Falloff Distance and Solid Core Radius will have no effect. Plane can make an impenetrable plane that begins at the negative side of the axis based on the effector position (like keeping feet squashed against the floor). If it is a Plane, you need to specify the Axis. You can also choose the Effector Shape: it can be a Point or Plane. Points outside the Falloff Distance are not affected at all. There is a gradual falloff of the effect between the Solid Core Radius and Falloff Distance. This lets you have more than one effector based simply on their name.Solid Core Radius defines a spherical area, within which all points are equally affected. The Effector Object(s) Prefix is a name prefix with the default of Effector, and any object that begins with this name will be an effector. The effector objects may be any objects you wish, but Null objects work best. EffectorĮffector causes effector objects to repel or attract the points of the affected object. Nulls used in image are using Item Shape instead of the standard Null Shape.

The Effect Handle object determines the direction of the bending.Īdd Deform: Vortex three times using a different Axis setting on each to have full rotational influence. The Effect Base object defines the start of the bending point along the selected Axis.
The Deform Displacement plugins let you deform objects much like Modeler’s Flex and Deform tools. (If there is more than one curve in the object, the first curve is used.) Deform Displacement Plugins Show Curve (Custom Object) displays an object curve in Layout - normally curve objects are a modeling tool and cannot be seen in Layout. This mode maps the range directly to the curve, so the Flip option has the effect of flipping the mesh, but leaving the basic shape the same.The Curve Influence percentage blends the deformed shape with the original un-deformed shape
When Align is enabled, the vertices are rotated, as well as translated, so the mesh’s “thickness” along the axis is preserved, like a bend operation. This can cause stretching or compression of the mesh along its axis.
Stretch alters the mapping of the range to the curve’s arc length (the length of the curve), so that the entire range exactly fits into the length of the curve. World Coordinates leaves the curve’s position fixed in 3D space, deforming only that part of the mesh that moves into its range. The Flip option reverses the influence direction of the curve. If there is more than one curve in the object, the first curve is used. The curve object is set on the Curve pop-up. The Auto-Range button can be used to rescan the mesh and set the range based on the bounds of the currently selected axis. The range and axis are set to match the longest side of this bounding box. When Curve Conform is first added, it scans the mesh to compute a bounding box. The Range Start and Range End values define where the beginning and end of the curve match up with the selected Axis. The axis is the direction in the mesh, which will be transformed to lie along the curve. In order to determine what part of the curve applies to what part of the mesh, you must define an axis and a range of distances along that axis. Curve Conform uses a curve object to deform an object’s mesh.
