Clumping
Overview
Causes the fibres in Input 0 to clump around the fibres in Input 1, the amount of clumping is based on the
Clumping
Parameter |
Description |
Weight |
an overall weight of the effect. |
Weight Random |
a means of randomizing the effect. |
Tip/Base Attraction |
how much the fibres attract to the tip/base of the clump, 1 is completely, 0 is none and -1 will actually push the fibre away. |
Attraction Bias |
controls where along the clump the transition from base to tip happens. |
Min/Max Distance |
defines a limit to how close and far the fibre will be attraction to the clump. |
Twist |
causes the fibres to twist themselves around the clump. |
Fly Away |
the higher the value the more fibres will fly away from the clump, adding a frizz effect. |
Geometry
Parameter |
Description |
Space |
defines whether the clumping should be evaluated in Local or World space, this usually depends if you’re clumping around Fibres or a guide curve. |
Maintain Length |
by default Yeti tries to maintain the length of the fibres, in some circumstances this can lead to uneven looking results due to longer segment lengths - toggling this off helps produce smoother results with the side effect that the overall length of the fibre may be slightly different. |
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. |
