Combine Falloff

Summary

The Combine Falloff operator merges multiple falloff attributes using mathematical operations to create layered and complex falloff effects. It supports various combination modes including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, screen, overlay, and min/max operations.

This operator enables sophisticated falloff composition by allowing you to stack and blend multiple falloff sources with independent gain controls. Each falloff input can be individually weighted and processed through a unified combination pipeline.

The result can be previewed with customizable color ramps (heatmap, blackbody, infrared, or custom) and output to a specified attribute for use in downstream operators.

Parameters

Page: Combine

Group Group – If there are input groups, specifying a group name in this field will cause this POPX to act only upon the group specified.
Combine Operation Combineop – – Mathematical operation used to combine falloff attributes.
Add add
Substract sub
Multiply mult
Divide div
Screen screen
Overlay overlay
Maximum max
Minimum min
Swap Operation Order Swaporder – Reverses the order of operands in the combination operation (useful for non-commutative operations like subtraction and division).
Output Falloff Attribute Outputfalloffattribute – Name of the attribute where the combined falloff result will be stored.
Falloff Falloffs – Sequence of falloff inputs to combine. Each entry specifies a POP source, falloff attribute, and gain multiplier.
In POP(s) Falloffs0pop – Reference to the POP operator containing the falloff attribute to combine.
Falloff Attribute Falloffs0falloffattribute – Name of the falloff attribute to read from the specified POP.
Gain Falloffs0gain – Multiplier applied to the falloff value before combining (0.0 to 1.0).
