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.
