Subject: RE: price increases?
The price increase
not a solution but a workaround (maybe) -
could you make a duplicate of the material/materials for these objects, and
include a UV edit in the tree, from which you can transform/animate the UV’s.
this would require resorting to texture projection lookup node and use of nodes
with inputs for UV

Sorry for digging up an ancient thread! I'm looking for a way to do
curve/path constrain using ICE.
I tried your setup but the null is jumping all over the place, especially
if I step back and worth between frames. I'm not sure if I'm missing a
setting somewhere, do you have a stable path
Have you accidentally created a simulated ICE tree rather than applying it
in a non simulated ICE tree?

I've tried both! I assumed it shouldn't be simulated, but I get the same
result either way. It seems to build on top of the current null position,
so it never starts out from the same position or rotation, it gets weirder
every time I play it. I would have thought this tree would just over-write
Do you have the ICE Tree that is calculating the position on the object
itself or on an empty point cloud or null that stays at world origin?

Hi Jared,
I can think of one easy way to do this with the tool SDK.
The tool can call Pick using rectangle raycast to quickly get a list of objects
(or components) that are visible in the view.
Of course, this would require you to use a tool but you could have the tool

It's directly on the null itself, I assumed it would work because the
SetData node was writing to self.kine.global in the example image. It works
much better if the tree is on a static null, and writing to the moving
null's kine.global! I guess that works for me, is that the only way to make
it
I'm playing around with CrowdFX and found that I can't change the actors

but still nothing.

Its the best way for most ICE Kine operations as it ensures the transform
space in which all the calculations are done stays constant and doesn't
move around. You can do calculations on a stationary null and set a custom

I wrote some python libraries, but these are generic and works outside of

Texture shaders are the miscellaneous category of mental ray shaders that can

Technically that works, but much too laborious as there are many inter-object
and intra-object dependencies. Duplicating objects means we have to set up all
the inter-object relationships again too. Ideally, we need a solution that
processes the texture projection in place.
I tried using

from the source. The problem is there are many relationships between objects
