rope

 

 

This node allows user create a rope. Rope consists only of stretch fibers.

 

 

[Inputs]

 

#Particle Stream - This pin requires a particle stream to be connected. Particle in the input will be used to create a rope. Connection is usually not required if any of the attributes is connected.

 

Enabled - Enable or disable node evaluation.

 

Fiber Group - Rope fibers will be placed into this group.

 

Stretch Stiffness - Stretch Fibers stiffness. Stiffer fibers will have higher resistance to stretch forces.

 

Stretch Damping - Use this parameter to dampen fiber`s endpoint velocities. This will only dampen the velocities along the fiber direction.

 

Enable Rope Tear - This will enable rope tear.

 

Stretch Tear Limit - Rope will be flagged for tear if it`s stretched beyond this percentage.

 

Compress Tear Limit - Rope will be flagged for tear if it`s compressed beyond this percentage.

 

Rest Length Scale - Use this parameter to change the fiber length when it`s in the rest state. Lower values than 1.0 will have the tendency to shrink the rope as the fiber has the tendency to return to its rest state.

 

Enable Display - Enable rope display.

 

Show Knots - Displays the rope knots.
