Contains all the necessary Lagoa nodes to create a particle emission in which the particles' structure can be broken apart. The default results are a "soft body" cluster of particles that sticks to a collision object, but can be broken.
Plug this compound's Execute output into a port on the ICETree node or in an Execute port on a Simulation Root node.
This compound is the same as Lagoa Setup Throw Breakable Structure except that you need to use a null as the emitter object instead of a volume object.
| Null In Name |
Plug in a null object's Out Name output here. The particles are emitted from this object. If no object is plugged in here, the particles are emitted from a global position. You can also plug a group node here, with each null emitter object defined in the group. You can change the shape of the null in its property editor to change the emission volume. |
| Stretch Resistance |
How much the elastic structure resists stretching/bending. These are the parallel links that are made horizontally and vertically between the points, creating a tile-like pattern in the structure. These links try to prevent the object from stretching. Low values allow the material to deform without resistance, while higher values prevent it from stretching. |
| Shear Resistance |
How much the elastic structure resists shearing, which is a crosswise motion on the material. These are the diagonal links that are made between points, like a fish net. The links try to keep the structure's shape by resisting deformation. |
| Damping |
Reduces the effect of the elasticity (slows it down). This helps stabilize a simulation when the forces are too strong, and there are not enough Substeps or Elastic Substeps set for the material. |
| Gravity |
A default gravity vector used by the simulator. This is the required defined gravity force used internally by the simulator, and needs to be separated from the other forces. |
| Density |
Sets the density of the air — see Lagoa Air Wind. |
| Force |
Defines a force value to be applied to the particles. You can connect any of the force compounds into this port, or you can type in XYZ values to create a general force if nothing is plugged in here. |
