Oscillator Modifier 

Oscillator is a procedural dynamics simulator designed to predict the hairs's follow thru motion and creating inertia movement without full featured hair simulation.

Parameters 

A set of intuitive and artist friendly parameters are included to quickly create oscillation simulation with few parameters. Additionally, those parameters can manipulated using texture maps, Strand Groups, and Strand Channels. See the corresponding page for more information.

• Time Scale
  Determines the speed of the oscillation process. Use it to decrease or increase the reaction time of the oscillation between each impulse.
• Iteration Count
  Number of iterations to solve oscillation equations.
• Amount
  Blend the operator output with the original strand's positions.
• Damping
  Controls the damping of the oscillation.
• Stiffness
  Strand's Stiffness.
• Inertia
  Strand's Inertia. Increase for more expressed effect.
• Gravity:
  Gravity or other static forces vector.

 

Exporting the animation 

The animation generated by the Oscillator operator can be exported using our .abc exporter. Find step by step instructions on how to cache and export hair animations in the Animation Modifier page.
