Better manual with examples
#2
If you have a question about the docs just ask....but it's not feasible for me to create examples for all parameters. The docs are text-only because the tyFlow UI changes so much and so often that the docs would regularly be rendered obsolete if each parameter was accompanied by a picture or video explanation. With text it's easy to update when things change, and that's how it will stay for the foreseeable future.

Quote:the post-initialization multiplier to apply to binding rest lengths.

Every binding has a rest length after it's created. The bias just multiplies that rest length. So if you binding has a rest length of 2.5 and bias is set to 2, the rest length will be changed to 5.

Quote:the maximum cumulative rest length of torn bindings that is allowed per step

Each time a binding is torn, the solver keeps track of its length and the length of all other bindings torn on a time step. If the total length exceeds the max dist/step value, no more bindings will be torn that time step.

In both of these cases I don't think there's anything necessarily confusing about the wording of the docs...it's just more succinct. tyFlow has tens of thousands of individual parameters controlling everything from very simple, obvious things to extremely complex things. It's perfectly normal and understandable that not everyone will immediately grasp what every parameter does, even after consulting the docs. So feel free to ask for clarification Smile
