Change Log
Features
Additional Force
Added a parameter for additional external force. It allows arbitrary external forces like wind to be applied. Unlike gravity, it is affected by mass.
Turbulence Force
Added a vector that changes direction randomly to the external force. The change accumulates starting from the Reset Time. Nodes with the same Turbulence Seed and Reset Time will generate the same turbulence vector.
Turbulence wind can be expressed by a combination of "Additional Force" and "Turbulence".
Elastic Force Function (*Experimental)
Added selection of formula to apply elasticity to force.
Linear is the same as before. Quadratic and Cubic increase elastic force more significantly as the distance from the initial position increases.
Additionally, it is set to clamp the elastic force, making it less prone to instability even with large values of elasticity.
Offset Matrix Weight
Added a weight parameter to the Offset Matrix. It is disabled at 0.0 and fully enabled at 1.0.
Others
AETemplate
The layout of the Attribute Editor is organized. It will be enabled by placing AEboneDynamicsNodeTemplate.mel in the scripts folder.
Sample Scripts
advanced_usage.py : It is now possible to specify a node that connects to the additional force. Specify the node name and the initial vector as arguments.
