Pose constrain to two objects

Hey list! When pose constraining an object to two other objects with a 0.5 blend weight on each constraint, the constrained object does not end up exactly in the middle, but something like 25% of the way there, and that goes for both rotation and position. It seems to follow fine, but with an

I am already doing all our MDD point caching and fur ICE caching using RR here, it is very simple to do. You do not need to use any launchprocess or Popen - you can submit a .bat or .sh file to RR as an execute once - so your currently setup method with the .bat and .py script works 100% -

Ice Topology | build mesh from pointcloud trinagulizer thing

Hi guys, In SI, I have a tracked shot of a topview (from airplane) of a forest. Basicly, 1000 nulls (trackpoints). I was wondering if there was a possibility to mesh those nuls in order to recreate the terrain topology ? Maybe there is already a compound somewhere able to trace a triangle

There's no need for ice topo, you would over complicate things..can't you use the built-in polygonizer ? It can handle nulls too. but probably a faster/better workflow would be to put all the nulls into a group, then emit particles on the global position array and polygonize that...

Re: Ice Topology | build mesh from pointcloud trinagulizer thing

depending on how accurate the terrain topology should be, but a quick way could be setting a key in the position of all the nulls in frame 2, then go to frame 1 and set another position key BUT with the y value at 0, so you have this bed of nulls. And finally you could create a grid or similar
