The FX Tab holds additional effects such as Tire Marks and Tire Smoke to be added to your scene.

• FX Pin: Pins the FX tab to the Control Panel.

Tire Marks

• Add/Remove Tire Marks: Adds or Removes a tire Mark object for the selected RBC Rig.
• Geometry settings: Hold parameters for geometry of the Tire Mark object.
  • Resolution: Controls the subdivision level of the tire mark object.
  • Ground Offset: Sets the height offset from the ground.
  • Shrink Wrap: Shrink wraps tire marks to Ground object.
• Material settings: Hold parameters for Material of the Tire Mark object.
  • Image Texture: Image Texture for tire marks.
  • Opacity: Controls overall transparency.
  • Image/Noise: Mixes Image Texture with a noise texture.
  • Pressure: Determines mark intensity for each wheel.
  • Slip Ratio: Controls mark visibility based on each wheel’s slip ratio.
  • Slip Angle: Controls mark visibility based on each wheel’s slip angle.
  • Edges: Controls the softness of mark edges.
• Bake/Delete Cache: Bakes or Deletes the selected RBC Rig’s tire marks geometry simulation cache.
• Multiple Rigs Toggle: Bakes or Deletes All RBC Rig’s tire marks geometry simulation cache when clicking the Bake Cache Button.

Tire Smoke

Smoke Domain Settings:

• RBC Smoke Domain: Controls the 3D space where smoke can appear, with adjustable X/Y and Z dimensions to define the simulation area.
• Resolution: Determines the detail level of the smoke simulation - higher numbers mean more detailed smoke.
• Dissolve Time: Controls how long the smoke persists before fading away.
• Noise: Adds high-frequency detail via a post-process up-res pass.
  • Upres Factor: How many times finer the noise grid is relative to the base resolution.
  • Scale: Size of the noise detail.
• Cache Path: Where to write the simulation files on disk.
