Shape Falloff

The Shape Falloff generates a Falloff Attribute based on signed distance fields (SDFs) computed from various geometric primitives. Internally, uses the Field POP to calculate distance-based influence regions with smooth gradients and precise transitions.

Provides accurate control over falloff distribution using mathematical shape definitions such as spheres, boxes, cylinders, and planes, with adjustable parameters for size, radius, height, and roundness.

Multiple shapes in one Shape Falloff: A parameter called Specification POP is a pointer to a POP where each point is a specification defining a separate shape - one point per shape. The attributes of the specification POP are named the same as parameter tokens in the Shape Falloff, and override the parameters for each shape. Menus and toggles are represented as integers, starting at 0 for the first menu entry. You need only to create a Point POP with attributes named as the Shape Falloff parameters, and then add a point per shape, and set their values. (An attribute sizex will override the Size X (sizex) parameter.) Alternately you can generate points procedurally with attributes that match the Shape Falloff parameter names. The workflow is the same as multiple strings defined in a specification DAT of the Geo Text COMP and the Text COMP.
