    Mask influences

    You can control the region where influences have an effect by using masks.

    1. Daisy-chain a mask_influence node with the influences you want to mask. The mask_influence node can appear anywhere in the chain. The end of the chain must be plugged into the influence input of the graph's simulate node.

    2. Connect a geometry into the geometry input of the mask_influence node to define the region to mask, and set its options.
