Split ice cloud into randomised collections.

2012-05-24 Thread Adam Seeley
Hi, Before I spend time sorting this one out on my short time scale, I wondered if someone had been there already. I'd like to be able to split my cloud into, say, 10 randomised sets. Pretty much the same way that instancing 10 objects works, but so I can define specific colours/shapes etc.

You could get the groups' name (from the multiple groups you have created) and set a custom data using set data node. Then your point cloud will inherit this data. Cheers. Regards, Chris Chia On 24 May, 2012, at 6:39 PM, Adam Seeley adam_see...@yahoo.commailto:adam_see...@yahoo.com wrote:

Hi Alan, Your problem is that the XSI environment has been sourced and it sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, hence overrides the system libraries with XSI's ones, including libstdc++. Attaching a simple wrapper to unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH and launch your command, use it like this: cmd_wrapper.sh my_command

not sure what you are trying to achieve - but I think you might use state_ID. assign a random state ID to the particles, (eg. random value scalar to integer set data state_ID) or using modulo indeed. and then use a select_case node, driven by get data state_ID this way you can manipulate

Do you mean you're getting in camera 3D motion blur? If you're using mip_motion_vectors and you have motion blur turned on (shouldn't need that), you should be rendering with the shutter set to 0 (look under optimization). This will prevent in camera blur from rendering. In my test
