Long name (short name)TypeDefaultFlags
length (l) double0.0arrayoutputinputconnectablestorable
the length or secondary radius
rightRadius (rr) double0.0arrayoutputinputconnectablestorable
The first parameter to describe the volume. It is normal a radius.
leftRadius (lr) double0.0arrayoutputinputconnectablestorable
The second parameter to describe the volume. It is normal a radius.
rightCap (rc) double1.0arrayoutputinputconnectablestorable
The first +Z direction cap scaling parameter. It controls how round the end cap is. A Value of zero will give a flat cylinder and a value of one will be a capsule. This can take on values greater then one.
leftCap (lc) double1.0arrayoutputinputconnectablestorable
The second cap scaling parameter (-Z direction see rightCap). It controls how round the end cap is. A Value of zero will give a flat cylinder and a value of one will be a capsule. This can take on values greater then one.
bindPreMatrix (bpm) matrixidentityarrayoutputinputconnectablestorable
The inclusive matrix of the driving transform at the time of binding.
geomMatrix (gm) matrixidentityoutputinputconnectablestorablehidden
The inclusive matrix of the geometry path at the time of binding.
parentMatrix (pm) matrixidentityarrayoutputinputconnectablestorablehidden
This attribute stores the inclusive matrix for the associated influences.
localMatrix (lm) matrixidentityarrayoutputinputconnectablestorablehidden
Local transformation from the influence space to the volume space. Indices in the localMatrix multi have a one-to-one correspondence with indices in the parent matrix multi-index.
updateWeights (uw) Messagen/aoutputinputconnectable
For connecting and exchanging update messages with the skin cluster
outWeights (otw) doubleArrayemptyoutputinputconnectablestorable
Temporarily stores the weights for one of the influences
falloffCurve (fc) compoundn/aarrayoutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Define the falloff curve
falloffCurve_Position (fcp) float0.0outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Position of ramp value on normalized 0-1 scale
falloffCurve_FloatValue (fcfv) float0.0outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Ramp value at the sibling position
falloffCurve_Interp (fci) enum0outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Ramp Interpolation controls the way the intermediate values are calculated. The values are:
    None: No interpolation is done; the different colors just show up as different bands in the final texture.

    Linear: The values are interpolated linearly in RGB color space.

    Smooth: The values are interpolated along a bell curve, so that each color on the ramp dominates the region around it, then blends quickly to the next color.

    Spline: The values are interpolated with a spline curve, taking neighboring indices into account for greater smoothness.

inputGeometry (ig) geometryNULLoutputinputconnectablestorable
The world space coordinates of the driver influence geometry
currentInfluence (ci) integer0outputinputconnectablestorable
The current multi index of the influence connected to the the manip. This will determine which volume weight will create the output weights.
