geomBind [-bindMethod uint] [-falloff float] [-geodesicVoxelParams uint boolean] [-maxInfluences int]
geomBind is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command is used to compute weights using geodesic voxel binding algorithm.
It works by setting the right weights values on an already-existing skinCluster
node.
None
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Properties |
-bindMethod(-bm)
|
uint
|
|
|
Specifies which bind algorithm to use. By default, Geodesic Voxel will be used.
Available algorithms are:
3 - Geodesic Voxel
|
|
-falloff(-fo)
|
float
|
 
|
|
Falloff controlling the bind stiffness. Valid values range from [0..1].
|
|
-geodesicVoxelParams(-gvp)
|
uint boolean
|
|
|
Specifies the geodesic voxel binding parameters. This flag is composed of three
parameters:
0 - Maximum voxel grid resolution which must be a power of two. (ie. 64, 128, 256, etc. )
1 - Performs a post voxel state validation when enabled.
Default values are 256 true.
|
|
-maxInfluences(-mi)
|
int
|
|
|
Specifies the maximum influences a vertex can have. By default, all influences
are used (-1).

Flag can appear in Query mode of command
|
Flag can be used more than once in a command.
