Neighboring Particles Force

This compound generates a force between neighboring particles that attracts them to each other when they get within a certain range, in a manner similar to the Coagulate force. However, there is no friction between the particles so they don't stay clumped together as with the Coagulate force — they keep moving.

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

Tasks: Particles/Forces

Output Ports: Force

Cutoff Distance	The maximum distance (in Softimage units) to neighboring particles. Particles farther apart than this distance are not attracted to each other.
Attraction Strength	The strength of the force applied to a particle to attract it to nearby particles.
Strength over Distance Profile	This graph multiplies the strength of the force based on the distance to neighboring particles.
Display Debugging	Displays the force vectors between points.
