FallOff As values increase, the effect is localized to the joint. Range=0.0 to
1.0. Default=0.5.
Radial Scale group
Radial Scale parameters expand or contract the skin by scaling the radial
distance perpendicular to the link. They apply to any combination of
user-definable scale, bulge settings, or link length.
Tension Values between 0.0 and 1.0 concentrate the effect closer to the joint.
The effect is closest to the joint when Tension is 0.0. Values greater than 1.0
move the effect away from the joint. Range=0.0 to 2.0. Default=0.5.
Bias Shifts the effect of radial scaling. At the default value of 0.5, scaling affects
both the selected link and the child link. Values lower than 0.5 shift the scaling
effect onto the selected link, and values greater than 0.5 shift scaling onto the
child link. At 0.0, expansion and contraction are limited to the selected link.
At 1.0, expansion and contraction are limited to the child link. Range=0.0 to
1.0. Default=0.5.
Link Scale Scales the entire link radially, independent of the effect of any
cross sections. At 1.0, the link is “actual size” and this setting has no effect.
Other values increase or decrease the radial scale of the link. Range=0.0 to
10.0. Default=1.0.
CS Amplitude Cross section amplitude has no effect unless the link has bulge
angle cross sections. At 0.0, cross section deformation is turned off. Values
greater than 1.0, up to the maximum of 10.0, exaggerate the effect of cross
sections. Default=1.0.
Stretch When on, preserves the volume of the link’s skin when the length of
the link changes. The effect is similar to stretching or squeezing a material
that is only partly elastic, such as a tough rubber hose. Default=off.
