Hello again,
this might be a bit of a beginner question, but since I am not well-versed in the world of pops:
how can I slow down particles that are moving much faster than the overall speed of the rest of the particles in a pop sim?
I would like to implement a way to dampen the speed of the fastest particles with some sort of a ramp/falloff. Dampen, not stop or slow these particles down too much, just bring them more in line with the bulk of the simulation. How to best do this?
Thanks,
Dag

Create a pop drag and activate vexpressions. Then do something like:
Then click on the slider button to create the parameters. Your drag will be 0 at the minimum speed, and max out at the maximum speed, and you can adjust the falloff with the exponent. You can still adjust the overall drag with the Air resistance slider.
airresist *= pow(fit(length(v@v), chf('min_speed'), chf('max_speed'), 0, 1), chf('exponent'));
Then click on the slider button to create the parameters. Your drag will be 0 at the minimum speed, and max out at the maximum speed, and you can adjust the falloff with the exponent. You can still adjust the overall drag with the Air resistance slider.
