@pscale for vellum grain?

[bretik]

Does anyone know if it's possible to use @pscale for vellum grain? I mean to create it on "Grain Source" and pass it to a "Vellum Configure Grain". To a "grain size" probably?

Thanks.

When you're using vellum grain sop it makes it automatically. Without this attribute grains doesn't work.

You can always overwrite @pscale after the vellum grain source. Add a wrangle after such as 
 

f@pscale = fit01(rand(@ptnum), .05, .1);

or whatever and it should work.

Thanks Tamagochy, So how you do for example the random size of vellum grain?

 

[bretik]

Ok, I get it. Thanks Guys.

You can make it random if you go inside vellum grain and disable uniform scale at grain sop.

Hey everyone,

I'm very new to Vellum grains.

 I did a vellumConstraints_grain

and then randomized @pscale in a wrangle on the first output before throwing it into the Vellum Solver.

(I found that I could only randomize the scale down... when I randomize it to higher pscales, the grains would explode because of self collisions)

QUESTION:

Now I'm looking at the simulation, and it looks like I've got gaps between the grains. (probably due to the pscale shift, right?). what should I do to fix this?

Make constraints after randomizing pscale, not before. But you will get the gaps because constraints not rigid.
