zFiber, contraction limit

tristan_cordeboeuf

hello !
I have a question about zFiber and contraction limit and excitation.
Is the contraction limit affect the zFiber only when the excitation/loa is animated or if their is no excitation (no LOA or excitation animation), the contaction limit will do something? Is their an utility to use zFiber when we do not use the excitation/LOA?

tristan_cordeboeuf

on the test I've made it seem when the zFiber excitation isn't animated, the contraction limit doesn't do anything

tristan_cordeboeuf It clamps the affect of the zFiber to a percentage of the muscle length in the direction of the fiber field.

jamesj but only when the excitation / loa is affected I'm I rights? I've made some basic test and when nothing affect the contraction of the fiber, the contraction limit doesn't do anything which seems logical indeed, but I wanted to know if their weir something to say to the muscle : you can stretch but not squash.

jamesj

tristan_cordeboeuf correct - contraction limit is a feature of the zFiber node.
If you want to make it possible for something to be able to stretch, but not squash, we don't really have an automated switch that will do that for you.
