Re: ice strand grass

I have sent you a simple scene demonstrating the setup.

2016-02-27 Thread Olivier Jeannel 
Just to be sure, as far as I know, Strand deforming objects, like Rob
showed, only render in MR.
I don't think RS does it, and I'm not sure for Arnold.

Re: ice strand grass

2016-02-27 Thread Kris Rivel 
Thanks Olivier...that helps...going to look at that.

Rob...ha ha...I think my ICE skills are below your assumptions. I did this
same setup (from what I can see in your image) and I'm getting instances on
the hairs but they're not deforming even in the render. Is this tree on the
simulation stack? What other nodes do you have in there? What settings for
the emit strands are you using?

Re: ice strand grass

2016-02-27 Thread Kris Rivel 
Rob...thanks...that does help with keeping one instance but they still
don't bend/move with the strand dynamics. Olivier...this looks interesting
and I'm trying that too but I can't get it to work. The node is red no
matter what I do and all the links to the authors site and vimeo are down.

Re: ice strand grass

There is also the PLND Deform By Strand (I think it is still on Rray.de)
that physicaly deform the polymesh along the strand.
Can be slow with many strands.

Yeah no go with hairs...so using ice. But now...I still quite figure out
how to get strand dynamics to play nice with instancing. Anyone have some
pointers? I have some nice strands blowing around but when I hook up my set
instance shape or particle shape, it basically seems to create an instance
at each segment on the strand! So they move around but only because they're
generated at each segment point. How can I get one instance to be applied
to one strand and bend with the strand like a chain? Any sample scenes or
vids that show how to do this?

If you're using redshift you might be out of luck though, don't think they
have deforming instance geo yet.
