How to easily enable/disable fields in nCloth

Ben_A2 — Thu, 23 Mar 2023 19:18:10 GMT

I have a basic cloth sim set up in Maya using nCloth. I'm using a couple field effects in the scene: one air and one turbulence. What is the easiest way to temporarily disable a field? I am looking for a setting similar to the "enable" setting that is on the nClothshape node and the nucleus node (see screencap).

Right now to temporarily disable wind or turbulence I am setting magnitude to 0.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Ben

Bumping this as I have the same question. Let's say I'm using nParticles + vortex, air, turbulence and I want to temporarily disable vortex to assess how air and turbulence affect things.

Setting Magnitude to 0 is not ideal since 1. this property might be keyed and 2. it's hard to remember its value prior to setting it to 0.

Dynamic Relationships > pick the nCloth or nParticle whatever and it will show you what fields are affecting the solver
