Coagulate Force

This compound generates a force that attracts points toward their neighbors to form clumps. Once the points get within the range defined by the Coagulation Size, the Coagulation Drag applies a drag force to slow down the particles.

This force is useful for blood splatter, mercury or liquid metal forming, water droplets. You may want to try using this force with the particle shape set as blobs to create these types of effects.

Plug this compound's Force output into a Force port on the Add Forces compound.

Tasks: Particles/Forces

Output Ports: Force

Cutoff Distance	Defines the greatest distance (in Softimage units) in which the coagulation force is applied. Particles that are farther apart than this distance will not have a coagulation force applied between them.
Attraction Strength over Distance Profile	This graph defines the strength of the force based on the distance to neighboring particles. This graph multiplies the Attraction Strength value.
Attraction Strength	The strength of the force applied to a particle to attract it to nearby particles.
Coagulation Size	Defines the closest distance in which two particles will be together before the coagulation effect is stopped.
Coagulation Drag	Once particles are closer together than the Coagulation Size value defines, this parameter defines how much drag is applied to the motion of the particles.
Repellent Strength	The strength of the force applied to a particle to repel it from nearby particles (opposite effect of the Attraction Strength).
Display Debugging	Displays the force vectors between points.
