Long name (short name)TypeDefaultFlags
bendStrength (bnd) float0.0foutputinputconnectablestorable
Strength of the bend springs
cache (cach) compoundn/aarrayoutputinputstorablehidden
Caches relevant tension information per input mesh. If input data does not match current cached data, new vertex displacements will be recomputed.
cacheBindPositions (cbp) 3dFltPointArraynullptroutputinputstorablehidden
Caches original mesh vertex positions during bind phase. For internal use only.
cacheSetup (csp) ctypeDatan/aconnectablehidden
Internal data structure, do not change
inwardConstraint (iwc) float0.0foutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Limits the vertex motion to not go under the surface normal in order to preserve the current geometry contour
outwardConstraint (owc) float0.0foutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Limits the vertex motion to not go outside the surface normal in order to preserve the current geometry contour
pinBorderVertices (pbv) booltrueoutputinputconnectablestorable
If true, border vertices are pinned to their current position during smoothing.
relative (rel) float0.0foutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Amount by which length should be preserved locally relative ...
shearStrength (shr) float1.0foutputinputconnectablestorable
Strength of the shear springs
smoothingIterations (si) integer10outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Number of smoothing iterations to perform in order to remove deformation artifacts.
smoothingStep (ss) float1.0foutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Step amount used per smoothing iteration. Higher values may lead to instabilities but converges faster versus lower ones.
squashConstraint (sqc) float1.0foutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Prevents the edges from squashing
stretchConstraint (stc) float1.0foutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Prevents the edges from stretching
