Panel name Tnpix Post Process · also reachable as TnpixPostProcess

Delta Mush and detangle after the solve; it changes nothing about the simulation. Its on/off is 3ds Max's light bulb.

Property Type A Default Range Description

deltaMush boolean true Delta Mush on/off.

iterations integer A 10 0 – 500 Smoothing rounds per frame.

strength float A 1.0 0.0 – 1.0 0 = the simulation as it is, 1 = the full mush.

pinBoundary boolean true Open edges keep the simulated position.

weightFrom integer 0 Where the mush may work: 0 = None (whole cloth), 1 = Vertex color (red), 2 = Tnpix channel.

weightChannel string "" The Tnpix channel that weighs the mush, by name.

weightInvert boolean false Flips the weight.

method integer 2 0 = Uniform (Max), 1 = Cotangent, 2 = Shrink-free (Taubin).

step float A 0.5 0.01 – 1.0 How far each round moves a point towards its neighbours.

tangentialOnly boolean false Relax along the surface only.

keepCreases float A 60.0 0.0 – 180.0 Edges folded sharper than this angle (degrees) are not smoothed across; 0 = off.

inwardLimit float A 0.0 0.0 – 1.0 Allowed fraction of the move into the cloth along the normal.

outwardLimit float A 1.0 0.0 – 1.0 Allowed fraction of the move out of the cloth along the normal.

detail float A 1.0 0.0 – 5.0 Multiplier on the rest deltas: 1 = the modelled detail exactly.

temporal boolean false Smooth over time (needs frames on both sides: a Tnpix Cache or the Solver's memory below).

temporalWindow integer 2 1 – 30 Frames on each side.

temporalFilter integer 0 0 = Gaussian, 1 = Median.

restFrom integer 0 0 = Range start, 1 = This frame (restFrame).

restFrame integer 0 -100,000 – 100,000 The rest frame when restFrom is 1.

detangle boolean true Detangle on/off.

passes integer A 3 1 – 50 Detangle rounds per frame.

thicknessFrom integer 0 0 = From Self Collision, 1 = This value (thickness).

thickness float A 0.15 0.0 – 1000.0 The detangle separation in scene units when thicknessFrom is 1.

selfCollisions boolean true Detangle cloth against itself.

bodyColliders boolean false Detangle also moves the cloth out of the colliders listed in the Tnpix Collision below the Post Process, each at its own row's thickness.

detangleWeightFrom integer 0 Which points the detangle may move: 0 = None, 1 = Vertex color, 2 = Tnpix channel.

detangleWeightChannel string "" The Tnpix channel that weighs the detangle, by name.
