FurAttractors

Go to: Related nodes. Attributes.

"FurAttractors" node is used to add movement to fur. Attractors are joint chains (with IK handles, linked rotations, or particles) that "attract" the hairs making up the fur. When user moves the attractors (by key framing, moving the object the attractors are attached to, or applying forces), the fur follows that movement according to the attributes.

Attributes (54)

Attribute quick index omitted (too many attributes to show them all).

Long name (short name)	Type	Default	Flags
AttractorModel (amd)	enum	0
Defines the type of attractor. 0-Local Each hair mimics the closest attractor(s) within the defined radius. 1-Global Each hair grows towards the closest attractor(s) within the defined radius.
dagSetMembers (dsm)	Message	n/a
Defines to connect without data flow between surface and attractor set.
attractors (att)	Message	n/a
Defines to connect without data flow between individual attractor and attractor set.
furGlobals (fgc)	Message	n/a
Defines to connect without data flow between attractor and default fur global.
AttractorsPerHair (aph)	integer	1
Defines the number of attractors a hair should be influenced by. e.g. 1 Every hair is influenced by one attractor closest to it. 2 Every hair is influenced by two attractors closest to it. 3 Every hair is influenced by three attractors closest to it.

Defines to set the noise frequency for the attribute. The larger the Noise Frequency, the more variation over a distance or area.
Power (dp)	float	1.0
Set how the attractor will influence the hairs. The value you enter is the power to a falloff function that makes hairs become less influenced at the base of the hair than at the tip. 0.0 The entire length of the hair is influenced. 1.0 Hair is much less influenced at the base.

Defines to set the noise value for the attribute. A value of 0 produces no noise.
PowerNoiseFreq (pnf)	float	10.0
Defines to set the noise frequency for the attribute. The larger the Noise Frequency, the more variation over a distance or area.
Influence (di)	float	1.0
Set how much influence the attractor will have on the hairs. The value you enter linearly increases or decreases the influence over the length of the hair. 0.0 No influence. 1.0 Standard influence.
