MENU

Edit
- Reset Settings - Reset all setting in Overlappy.
Select
- Object - Select objects what been used for created rig.
- Particle - Select particle object if exists.
- Nucleus - Select nucleus object if exists.
- Target Locator - Select target locator object if exists.
- Aim Locator - Select aim locator object if exists.

BUTTONS

SETUP - Create particle rig for first selected object. Use this step for setup settings. Setup runs every time for each selected object.
DELETE - Delete particle rig if exists.
TRANSLATION - Bake simulation for translation attributes.
- translate with offset - Bake simulation for translation attributes with offset.
ROTATION - Bake simulation for rotation attributes.
COMBO - Bake translation and rotation in order.
- rotate + translate - Bake rotation and translation in order.

LAYERS

Delete "BaseAnimation" Layer - All animation layers will be deleted.
Delete Temp Layer - Only Temp layer and child layers will be deleted.
Move To Safe Layer - Move Temp layer sublayers to Safe layer.
Delete Safe Layer - Only Safe layer and child layers will be deleted.
Move To Temp Layer - Move Safe layer sublayers to Temp layer.

OPTIONS

Hierarchy - Bake simulation for all child hierarchy of selected objects.
Layer - Bake animation into override layers. If turned off animation will be baked directly to selected objects.
Loop - Use for cycles. Important to have cycle constant animation curves.
Clean - Remove particle setup after baking end.

PARTICLE ATTRIBUTES

Radius - Particle Radius.
Conserve - Particle Conserve.
Drag - Particle Drag.
Damp - Particle Damp.
G.Smooth - Particle Goal Smooth.
G.Weight - Particle Goal Weight.
Time Scale - Nucleus Time Scale.

PARTICLE OFFSET

Mirror X, Y, Z - Mirror particle offset value to opposite.
Move X, Y, Z - Move particle from original object. Important to use offset for Rotation baking.
