Overview

Fibric Deform is a deformation node designed to apply animated or simulated mesh transformations to fabric products. The node utilizes UV coordinates from both Fibric products and anim/sim cache and rest just from the cache to precisely wrap the curves.

Beyond basic deformation, Fibric Deform includes advanced features such as tearing that breaks fibers when fabric stretches beyond defined thresholds, width control overrides for fiber customization, procedural noise distortion for organic variation, and the ability to transfer attributes from the animated cache to the deformed Fibric output.

This node serves as a critical bridge between cloth simulation and the Fibric pipeline, enabling CFX and VFX departments to seamlessly integrate simulated dynamics into fiber-level geometry while maintaining full artistic control and customization.

Tearing

Breaks fibers when deformation stretches points beyond a defined distance threshold from their rest positions. This non-simulation approach is highly performant and delivers convincing results for most use cases, though it requires the animated cache to exhibit natural tearing behavior for optimal results.

Enable
Toggle Tearing on or off.
Threshold
The distance tolerance before fibers break during deformation.

Transfer Attributes

Passes attributes from the simulation cache to the deformed Fibric product

Attributes
List of attributes to transfer, supports Pattern matching.

Flatten

Dynamic integration of Fibric Flatten

Enable
Toggle Flatten on or off.
Mode
Choose from Basic or Accurate(requires area_ratio in the sim Mesh).
Flatten Attribute
Float Attribute that drives Flatten weight 0 = none, 1 = flatten.

Width Control

Width Global Multiplier
Uniformly multiply the width across the entire deformed fabric.
Width by Attribute
Enables per-attribute width overrides based on a specified attribute mask.
Attribute
The attribute used as a mask to control localized width variations.
Width Attr Multiplier
Width multiplier only for regions affected by the attribute mask.

Noise

Enable
Toggle Noise on or off.
Frequency
Noise frequency.
Amplitude
Controls the intensity of the curve distortion.
Offset
Noise offset.
Roughness
Fractal roughness.
Mask Noise by Attribute
Enable attribute-based masking to control where noise distortion is applied.
Attribute
The attribute used as a mask for localized noise distortion.
