DMM Scene node
It is possible to have more than one DMM Scene node in a Maya scene. This is very useful when creating a complex scene with independent DMM Object clusters. Each cluster of DMM Objects can be connected to a different DMM Scene node. Each scene node runs its own DMM simulator so there is no interaction between their connected objects.
Use the DMM Scene Manager (under the "DMM Scene" menu) to deal with multiple DMM Scene nodes.
The "DMM Scene" menu makes it possible to create new DMM Scene nodes and to merge existing ones together. When a new DMM Object is created, it is connected to the "active" DMM Scene node. To set the active scene node, double click on the node name or select it and click on "OK". Click on the "Select Highlighted DMM Scene" button to have Maya select the active DMM Scene node. To find out which DMM Scene node a DMM Object is connected to, click on the "Highlight Selected DMM Object's Scene Node" button.
To set he default values used when creating a DMM Scene node, select "DMM Scene >> Default DMM Scene Settings...".
The default sub-step, glue all, gravity and unit scale can be set.
