Soft Peak
surface node
Moves the selected point along its normal, with smooth rolloff to surrounding points.
See also: Peak, Soft Transform, Transform, Clay
Unlike the Peak node, Soft Peak takes into account a rolloff function and a radius of influence. The points within radius distance to the selected point or group will be displaced by an amount proportional to the distance, similar to the Soft Transform node
Parameters
|
Group |
Subset of points to translate. |
|
Distance |
Distance along normal by which to translate |
|
Soft Radius |
Area of influence |
|
Soft Type |
Type of rolloff function |
|
Tangent Angles |
Angles of the cubic rolloff function’s tangents. The first value applies to the tangent farthest from the source point, the second applies to the tangent closest to the source point. |
|
Kernel Function |
Metaball kernel to use when rolloff Type is “Meta-ball” |
|
Ignore point connectivity |
Soft-displace only points connected to the points in the group, or all points within the radius of influence |
|
Translate Along Lead Normal |
Translate points within the radius along the normal of the point in Group closest to them. Otherwise translate along their respective normals, giving a mushrooming effect. |
|
Recompute Point Normals |
Recomputes point normals if they exist. |
|
Visualize Mode |
How to map the influence amount to a color. |
|
Keep Visualization in Geometry |
If true, the visualization of the fall off is written directly to the geometry rather than just temporarily. |
Local variables
|
NPT |
The number of points. |
|
NPR |
The number of primitives. |
