Magnetize

The Magnetize applies magnetic forces to each instance based on magnet positions. Each magnet can repulse, attract, or spin instances around them within a specified search radius, creating dynamic force-based effects.

Magnet positions can be specified either through a second input connection or via the Magnets POP parameter. Supports three force modes: Repulse (push away), Attract (pull toward), and Spin (rotate around magnets).

Effect intensity is controlled by the Search Radius, Effect Radius, and Force Strength parameters. Optional falloff-based modulation enables spatially varying magnetic effects.

Multiple Magnet Fields: Magnets can be specified via the Magnets POP parameter or Input 1, where each point defines a separate magnet field - one point per magnet. The attributes of the magnet POP are named the same as parameter tokens in the Magnetize operator, and override the parameters for each magnet. 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 Magnetize parameters, and then add a point per magnet, and set their values. (An attribute radius will override the Effect Radius (Radius) parameter.) Alternately you can generate points procedurally with attributes that match the Magnetize parameter names. The workflow is the same as multiple strings defined in a specification DAT of the Geo Text COMP and the Text COMP.
