This compound generates a force that attracts particles together. Once the particles get within the range defined by the Coagulation Size, the Coagulation Drag applies a drag force to slow down the particles. This compound is designed to be used for effects where drops of fluid coagulate, such as mercury or blood.
Plug its Force output into a Force port on the Add Forces compound.

|
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. |
