pooling turbulence.

2013-01-25 Thread Andi Farhall
One thing I've always noticed using ice is that when turbulising point positions or point velocities, that the particles all end up pooling or clumping together. Is there a reason for this? It's tricky trying to put some slow random noise into a cloud without it becoming obvious.

OK, a little help here... This parameter gymnastics gets me every time. I've tried all manner of variants with no success. Select an object and then run this: from win32com.client import dynamic xsi = Application pr = xsi.LogMessage for oObj in xsi.Selection: oOverride =

Indeed it does! Try this however, and it fails again. Seems it's a quirk with AddProp. Strange... for obj in Application.Selection: over = obj.AddProp(Override, oObj, , Vis_Override) param = obj.Properties(Visibility).Parameters(viewvis) over.AddParameterEntry(param) On Fri, Jan

Ah yeah, looking at the docs AddProp uses those funky ISIVTCollection things to return a collection for obj in Application.Selection: over = Application.AddProp(Override, obj, , Vis_Override)[Value][0] param = obj.Properties(Visibility).Parameters(viewvis)

Dan, alternatively you should be able to just use the OM method: for obj in Application.Selection: over = obj.AddProperty(Override, False, Vis_Override) LogMessage(over.FullName+ -- +str(over.Type) ) Cheers, Martin -- Martin Chatterjee [ Freelance Technical Director ] [

I must be one of the few people who don't like Aeron chairs. In fact I hate all mesh chairs. I've been searching for a decent non-mesh chair for a while. The problem I've had is nobody local carries anything good quality, and I really don't want to buy something without trying it out first.

Hi, My wife's a physio and an ergonomist and doesn't rate the Aeron that highly. The lumbar supports slip out of place pretty easily - true. Front bar below the thighs can isn't great for circulation if your feet aren't placed properly. They're not too bad if you're a large build, but not great
