Manual Modules MOCCA Muscle Object
Muscle Object Basic Coord. Fixings Settings StatesStates
On this tab, you'll find settings that control the shape of the muscle as its length changes. You can set the maximum and minimum length the muscle can achieve and how much it bulges in relation to the Size parameter on the Settings tab. You can also define the shape of the muscle at its minimum and maximum length.
Values
Current Length [-10000000..10000000m]
Displays the muscle's current length, in other words, the distance of all pins to each other added together. You can't change this value. It's for information only.
Transition
Stretch [-10000000..10000000%]
Again, this value is for information only and you can't change it. It shows how strongly the muscle is currently being stretched. It is calculated from the relationship between the maximum length, the minimum length and the current muscle length, where the maximum length corresponds to a stretch of 100% and the minimum a stretch of 0%.
This spline allows you to precisely control the transition from the minimum length state to the maximum length state in a similar way to using an F-curve in the timeline.
Min
Defines the muscle's minimum length.
Sets the muscle's minimum length to its current length.
This value is a multiplier for the Size value on the Settings tab. It controls how much the muscle's maximum radius changes when the muscle is at its minimum length.
Defines the muscle's shape at its minimum length.
Max
Defines the muscle's maximum length.
Sets the muscle's maximum length to its current length.
This value is a multiplier for the Size value on the Settings tab. It controls how much the muscle's maximum radius changes when the muscle is at its maximum length.
Defines the muscle's shape at its maximum length.
