Simulation Settings

Mesh SoftDetermines how springy the object mesh is. High values are more rigid, but oscillate like jello.
Mesh HardDetermines how stretchy the object mesh is, but without the oscillatory effects.
Mesh ReturnDetermines the rate at which the object mesh returns to its original position.
Mesh DampenAffects how much drag the object mesh experiences, which can also be used to reduce oscillation.
Scope SoftDetermines how springy the endoscope model is, high values causing it to sway back and forth.
Scope HardDetermines how stretchy the endoscope model is, high values being stiffer and lacking oscillatory effects.
Scope DampenAffects how much drag the endoscope experiences, which can also be used to reduce oscillation.
Scope RadiusChanges the radius of the endoscope's control points (spheres).
Scope WeightDetermines how much the endoscope will press into the walls of the object mesh.
Spline ControlsSets the number of control points (spheres) in the endoscope.
Spline PointsSets the number of subdivisions for drawing the curved endoscope line.
Scope StiffnessDetermines how much the endoscope wants to spring back into a straight line.
Turn StiffnessAffects how rotation of the endoscope behaves. Low values cause it to roll in place, while high values cause it to rotate more like a power cord.
Tip StiffnessAffects how rigid the tip of the endoscope is.
Max Tip AngleDetermines how much the endoscope's tip can rotate.
Ambient LightChanges how much background lighting is available.
Scope LightChanges the intensity of the endoscope's light source.
Scope LengthSets the length of the endoscope.
GravityChanges how much gravitational force is applied to the endoscope.
Mesh ScalingAffects the size of the next mesh loaded.
