Neighboring Particles Force

This compound generates a force between neighboring particles to attract them to each other when they get within a certain distance. This is similar to the Coagulate force, but there is no drag force so the particles keep moving instead of coagulating.

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

For more information on the using forces in ICE, see ICE Forces.

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.
