3.15Tnpix_Rigid

Panel name Tnpix Rigid · also reachable as TnpixRigid

Solid pieces inside the cloth. Its switch is named enabled, so from MAXScript 3ds Max's own light bulb shadows it; use the light bulb or the panel.

Property Type A Default Range Description

enabled boolean true On/off. Shadowed by 3ds Max's own enabled from MAXScript.

piecesFrom integer 0 0 = painted Tnpix channel, 1 = mesh elements.

channel string "" The painted channel that marks the rigid regions.

threshold float 0.5 0.0 – 1.0 Paint at or above this value is rigid.

eachRegion boolean true true = every connected painted region is its own piece.

rigidity float A 1.0 0.0 – 1.0 How firmly each piece holds its rest shape; 0 = off.

massMul float 1.0 0.01 – 1000.0 The pieces' weight as a multiple of the fabric's.

bounce float 0.5 0.0 – 1.0 Speed kept on hitting a collider: 0 lands dead, 1 bounces to full height.

friction float 0.3 0.0 – 10.0 The pieces' own friction in object and self collision.

airResistance float 0.0 0.0 – 100.0 Slows the pieces' motion; 0 = off, 5 stops within a second.

spinResistance float 0.0 0.0 – 100.0 Slows the pieces' spin; 0 = off.
