BodyulCG – PolyFX Features

• Patch Modifier: Flexible modifier with broad adjustable parameters for effects and animation.
• Element Animation: Enables users to animate selected parts or components of a scene separately.
• Direct Curve Editor: Curve-based controls are used to adjust the animations, which improve the accuracy and flexibility of motion.

Three Working Modes:

• Key: Traditional keyframe-based animation
• Controller: Set of programmed complex animations
• Particle: a system in which motion is made fluid and dynamic using Particles or points.
• Texture Maps Support in Particles Mode: Maps can be used in more detail on textures during the particle boosts for animations.

Built-In Tools:

• Slice Fragmentation: cuts objects into more nuanced pieces aimed at complex animations.
• Pattern Fragmentation: This breaks down an object into fragments based on a particular shape or pattern to create more visually dynamic effects.
• Quick Detach: Enables instant removal or destruction of parts for separation and explosion.
• Baking Animations: The facility of baked animations in the Controller as well as the Particle modes significantly enhances performance as well as allows inclusion of more sophisticated effects through efficient rendering.
