Object Falloff

falloffs/object-falloff·v1.5.1

IN:2 OUT:1

SUMMARY

Object Falloff measures every point against a mesh from Input 1 or the Object Geometry parameter, placed by its own transform, finding the closest surface point and a signed distance. Area of Influence picks the falloff: Inside or Outside of a closed mesh, Surface Distance, or Surface Intersection for points within Threshold of the surface.

Max Candidates and Search Radius bound the search, and points beyond the Search Radius count as outside. Like every POPX falloff, it adds optional noise, Remap controls (clamp, fit, invert, ramp) and a Combine Operation with the falloff already on the points, and Preview Falloff colors the points by the result.

PARAMETERS

PAGEObject

Group	Group	If there are input groups, specifying a group name in this field will cause this POP to act only upon the group specified.
Object Geometry	Objectgeometry	Reference to a POP mesh used as the falloff object.
Display Object	Displayobject	Draw the object in the viewport.
[+]Display Color	Displaycolor	Sets the color of the object guide.
[+]Area of Influence	Areaofinfluence	Determines what the falloff measures: Inside / Outside of a closed mesh, the distance to the closest surface, or a surface intersection within Threshold.
Threshold	Threshold	Distance threshold of the surface test.
Max Candidates	Maxcandidates	Number of closest mesh points tested per point.
Search Radius	Searchradius	Search radius around the object. Points further away count as outside.
[+]Transform Order	Xord	Sets the transform order of the object space.
[+]Rotate Order	Rord	Sets the order of the rotations of the object space.
[+]Translate	T	Translate the object space in the three axes.
[+]Rotate	R	Rotate the object space around the X, Y and Z axes. Angles are given in degrees.
[+]Scale	S	Scale factor for each axis of the object space.
[+]Pivot	P	The pivot point for the rotate and scale of the object space.
Uniform Scale	Scale	Specifies a uniform scale factor for the object space.

PAGEFalloff

[+]Combine Operation	Combineop	Specify how to combine this falloff with the existing falloff value.
Combine Falloff Attribute	Combattrscope	Sets the existing falloff attribute to combine with.
Swap Operation Order	Swaporder	Swaps the order of the operands. A operation B is changed to B operation A.
Combine Strength	Combstrength	Sets the blend of the combine operation, from 0 to 1.
Output Falloff Attribute	Outputfalloffattr	Name of the attribute the falloff is written to.
Preview Falloff	Previewfalloff	Enable coloring the points by the falloff.

[+]Combine Operation	Combineopnoise	Specify how to combine the noise with the falloff, either Add or Multiply.
[+]Type	Type	Determines the noise type.
Seed	Seed	Numerical value that initializes the randomization.
Period	Period	Period (scale) of the noise field.
Harmonics	Harmon	The number of higher frequency components to layer on top of the base frequency. 0 harmonics give the base shape.
