Re: Sticking particles over a cached cloth

[Pierre Schiller]

Thank you Eric, yes, the Stick to Emit location worked first try.
I forgot to re-apply the cached cloth to the object! Silly me. Once cache
was re-applied
particles stuck to the grid.
Thank you team! :D

Distribute between knots? Know the percentage position of a knot?

[pedro santos]

Hi
How can I distribute deformers along a curve not by the total curve
percentage, but in between-knot percentage? This because when I stretch a
part of the curve I don't want all the deformers to be re-distributed, but
only the ones where where the curve length between their bounding knots
have changed. An using Curve Constrain uses the whole curve lenght.

Null constrained at 20% on a curve.
Below the duplicate of the setup but the curve was deform in such what the
null even passed the knot.
[image: Inline image 3]

In Green is the ICE attribute "PointU" which I thought it would give me
somethig I could work with but no...
No matter how I deform the curve that PointU is always the same. And
apparently there's no KnotU. If there were I guess I could work out
something with the bounding knots :/

[image: Inline image 4]

Basically I want to keep working with approximated curves, since it will be
used for deformation afterwards and splines aren't as smooth, but I see no
what to solve things in each section of the curve.

Let me know if there's a way I at least can Access the Knots' U or Position
:/

Thanks!
Pedro

Re: Sticking particles over a cached cloth

[Eric Thivierge]

I believe there should be a "Stick To Emit Location" node or if not, you
can get and store the emit location and look it up later and set point
position by that.

Re: polygonizer and small particles

In case you might have missed it or if
  it would make a difference, but there are polygonizer settings
  under both the generated polygonizer mesh, as well as the existing
  polygonized elements.
  (only the generated polygonizer mesh setting popup when aplying
  it)

Sticking particles over a cached cloth

[Pierre Schiller]

Hello team. Good day. I am caching a syflex simulation (collitions and
wind) for a simple grid.
On the second phase, that grid should emit simple spheres and those

I used the stick to surface compound, making it evaluate 
from the ICE execute node. Simulation starts well, but just as soon as the

They only move  (and stay frozen) if the cloth touches them.

Maybe this is a simple question, but I´m going in circles, I don´t know

ICE : Selecting subarray from array

[Martin Yara]

Hi, ICE isn't one of my strengths but I wrote a tool to colorize the
influenced part of a deformer, with an ICETree, like an isolated deformer's
weight map.

I'm using [ Select SubArray in Array ] from [ EnvelopeWeightsPerDeformer ]
 to get the weights of an specified deformer.

Everything works fine, but I'm wondering if it is possible to select
multiple subarrays in an array without having to create a fixed number of
 [ Select SubArray in Array ] nodes.

Is it possible ?

by the way, the test tool is here:

Re: Considering buying that big box

[Mirko Jankovic]

Hey Olivier.
If you need some extra rendering muscle I can help you out.
Check out my web page for that help www.gpuoven.com
It is not render farm or any service like that, no worries.
Just if you need some extra muscle or don't wanna render days check out
details there so I don't spam mailing list here :)
Could also help you to wait a bit for pascal cards instead of caching out
right away. It would be bit of a shame really
Cheers!

I doubt theres any hardware clashes in that case, but i reckon that its

I can personally confirm on what Matt said about bugs.

That goes a long way

I'm going to have to disagree with that 'virtually the same as a redshift

been enough to keep me away from using it in production, as it was clear that 
the plugin developer had way too many hats to wear (ie several plugins), was 
slow to update to the most recent versions and didn't respond to forum posts at 
all. The redshift experience is a polar opposite, bugs are squished almost the 
same day, and they always respond to posts, even when its a good chance of 
being user error.

That said I realise that otoy are trying to do something about that situation, 
and will keep an eye on the progress of 3.0/3.1 as and when its released.

You also don’t need to use the standalone, There are  MAYA / Soft plugins which 
make it virtually the same as a redshift experience.

In 3.1 they will be adopting the glTF format (they dropped FBX saying it was 
too clunky ) Although both FBX and USD can be added in theory using their now 
opened API.

I did some tests on the weekend and am cautiously optimistic about glTF as a 
potential format, although I think they should have gone the USD route.

I agree with Marc-Andre on that, but that said, afaik Octane is standalone 
requiring export as alembic or obj, which is somewhat limiting compared to the 
built in flexibility of Redshift/XSI combo. Also last time I checked Octane 
does not allow using system memory for scene data like Redshift does.
