This layer creates forces of repulsion and attraction between particles.

Particle Forces

Check this box to enable particle forces.

Only Same Group

If enabled, connections will only be made between particles in the same group.

Forces Limit

This value represents the number of particles any one particle can affect by its forces of attraction and repulsion.

The more particles, the longer it takes and the more iterations are needed to complete the solution.

xpConstraints_Forces_Forces Limit_v01.mp4

Animation to demonstrate the effect of the Forces Limit parameter, with the value raised from 1 to 30.

Weight

This setting alters the influence each constraint type provides to the overall solution.

Attraction

Particles will attract one another, but only if the distance between them is less than the Radius value.
