Envelope Sub-Object 1133
Partial Blending on all the deformable envelopes for the bones
in this character’s jaw allows smooth mesh deformation whe n
the bones are moved.
Envelope Parameters group
Envelope t ype dr op-down list—Shows the type of
the selected envelope. If the link has both a rigid
and a deformable envelope, you can use this list
to choose which envelop e’s parameters you are
adjusting.
Strength—Changes the strength of the envelopes.
Range=0.0 to 100.0. Default=1.0.
Strength applies to both the inner and outer
envelope bounds.
Used primarily for areas where envelopes overlap,

other.
Fa lloff—Changes the rate of falloff between the
inner and outer bounds of an envelope. This
is a Bezier curve function. Range=0.0 to 1.0.
Default=0.1.
Vertices within the inner bound are fully
influenced (weight=1.0) and those beyond the
outer bound get no influence from the link
(weight=0.0). Falloff determines the rate at which
the influence falls off from 1.0 to 0.0.
The Inner, Outer, and Both buttons determine
whether the controls that follow, Radial Scale,
Parent Overlap, and Child Overlap, apply to
the en v elope’s inner bound, its outer bound, or
both at once. First, use the buttons to choose
which bounds to adjust, then change values in the
spinners.
Inner—Tur n on to chang e t he values of the inner
bound.
Outer —Turn on to change the values of the outer
bound.
Both—Tu rn on to chan ge the va lues for b oth i nne r
and outer bounds at the same time.
When Both is selected, the values displayed for
Radial Scale and Parent and Child Overlap reflect
the values for the inner bound.
Radial Scale—Radially scales the envelope bounds.
Range=0.0 to 100.0. Default=1.0.
