Roland Reyer looks into his Bifrost Manipulator Field Compound that works like a falloff in the viewport.

Autodesk’s Roland Reyer shows how you can use his Manipulator Field compound in Bifrost to visualize fields within a shape in the viewport, like a falloff. The Bifrost compound can adjust things using a manipulator object in the 3D scene and supports IDs.

Reyer shows how the whole setup works using a MEL script that will make the relevant Bifrost nodes right from the shelf. Reyer says this is “so that you can create the field and its manipulators with a push of a button.”
