wire

Go to: Related nodes. Attributes.

This node deforms the components of an input object or objects based on how the associated wire curves are modified relative to both the base wires and the deformed objects.
Note that multi-attributes corresponding to wire curves (dropoffDistance and scale) and wire locators (wireLocatorPercentage, wireLocatorParameter, wireLocatorEnvelope, wireLocatorTwist) retain their values after the corresponding wire curve is deleted or removed from the deformation (in order to support undo), but such "orphaned" values are not saved out when a file is saved.

Long name (short name)	Type	Default	Flags
crossingEffect (ce)	float	0
Convolution filter value. 0.0 means full convolution; 1.0 produces an additive effect.
tension (te)	float	1
Convolution filter tension
localInfluence (li)	float	0
Local filter value. 0.0 means no local effect; 1.0 produces a localized effect.
rotation (ro)	float	1
Orientation effect. 0.0 produces no orientation effect; 1.0 produces the full orientation effect.
freezeGeometry (fg)	bool	0
Wire mapping is frozen when the state of this variable is toggled on. This should be done only for performance improvement. Be careful not to move the geometry relative to the base wire if this is turned on!
dropoffDistance (dds)	float	1
Offset radius for dropoff around a wire.
scale (sc)	float	1
Scale for dropoff around a wire.
wireLocatorPercentage (wlpc)	float	1
The percents of the wire locators for radius calculation.
wireLocatorParameter (wlp)	float	0
The parameters of the wire locators for radius calculation.
wireLocatorEnvelope (wle)	float	1
The envelope of a wire locator.
wireLocatorTwist (wlt)	angle (float)	0.0deg
The twist of a wire locator.
deformedWire (dw)	nurbsCurve	NULL
The points of the deformed wire.
baseWire (bw)	nurbsCurve	NULL
The points of the base wire.
holder (ho)	Generic	NULL
A list of (optional) holder curves.
