Clumping
Will introduce clumps into the groom either based on neighbouring fibres or a second input fibre object that acts as the clumping points.
Inputs
| Input | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Data Flow | Fibres |
| 1 | Data Flow | Fibres |
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Weight | Overall level of clumping. |
| Weight Random | Randomize the clumping weight. |
| Clump Size | Define the rough size of the generated clumps. |
| Clump Selection | Determines if fibres will always clump or if they need to be within a lengths distance of a clump origin. |
| Base/Tip Attraction | How much the fibres will be attracted to the base/tip of a clump. |
| Attraction Bias | The attraction bias along the length of the fibre. |
| Twist | Causes the fibres to twist themselves around the clump. |
| Twist Random | Randomize the twist effect. |
| Fly Away | The higher the value the more fibres will fly away from the clump, adding a frizz effect. |
Geometry
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Length Handling | Depending on the configuration of your graph there are situations ( especially when using guide curves ) when a fibre is longer than a clump, this can cause stray looking hairs. Turn this to Conform If Longer will cause fibres that are longer than a clump to conform to the length of the clump. |
| Obey Weight | This will control how the output fibres will behave if Conform if Longer is true and the fibre is longer, if on the Weight parameter will be take into consideration, anything with a weight of 0 will be completely ignored thus retaining their length. |
