wind panel

As the title suggests, this page will cover wind simulation.

There are two types of wind in the addon, a fast one, and a physical one.

Wind Operator

The modal wind operator is a physical wind solver that simulates the effect of wind to an armature object continuously. To use it you need a controller object and an armature.

First select the controller object, then the armature, and press the operator button.

The scale of the controller object controls the strength of the wind.

Fast Wind Operator

This Operator fakes the wind with the help of fcurves modifiers. The physical model is only computed once and then extrapolated to any time (that means the operator can take time to execute, but after that you are good to go).

Select the armature object, and press the operator button. You can then change the properties to adjust the strength and speed.

This Operator works well for small winds.
