Is there a page or blog anywhere that explains in simple terms the separate and/or combined effects of the various properties for flexiprims, please? I've trawled the Wiki without finding anything so far.

Sure, someone will no doubt suggest I test and observe, but I'm hoping that has already been done and documented by an intrepid builder who reached the stage of messing with flexiprims before me now just getting to grips with them.

Thanks.

And Merry Christmas everyone.

Using this search term in Google might lead you to something useful:

gravity tension drag wind softness force sl OR second-life

Here's the wiki page with the building tools explained:

And a Mermaid Diaries tutorial:

Mermaid diaries has a nice part that explains it pretty well, I second that one.

Thanks, people.

How foolish do I feel, having promoted the Mermaid Diaries to loads of others for tutorials on building and having missed the Flexi info for my own benefit!

Nor did the word combo I entered in Knowledge Base search come up with anything meaningful when I tried, honest! Sometimes I find the KB/Wiki search engine a bit hit and miss depending on what words are used as the search basis.

But that's just me. Thanks again.
