Houdini 13.0 Nodes

interface version 1

Visualization of the general DOP forces in the simulation.

This operator creates a DOP geometry for the visualization of the general (non solver-specific, or “external”) forces within the simulation.

  • Visualization of DOP forces.

Note

This operator has to be placed before the force(s) to be visualized in the DOP graph.

Parameters

(Refer to the general DOP object help pages for parameters not described here.)

Guides
Forces to Display

A list (or pattern) of force names to visualize.

Faded Ends

Visualization lines will have a slightly transparent end (for the better indicating of direction).

Length

Line length for the maximum force.

Min Length

Minimum length for a visualization line.

Automatic Range

The minimum and maximum values of all exerted force (within the spatial area) will be automatically calculated.

Value Min, Max

The force strength range that would be mapped to the color ramp (if Automatic Range is off).

Exponent

An additional bias for the color ramp (to shift toward smaller/larger values).

Value Ramp

The color ramp to use as indicator of force strengths.

Geometry

Settings for the geometry to be used as template source. (The geometry points will be used as spatial points for the visualization.)

Show Guide Geometry

Show the original, “raw” input geometry (as a wireframe).

Animated Geometry

If enabled, the visualization will get an update from the source geometry on each new frame.

Geometry Source

Source of the geometry.
