Re: ICE: Randomized circular clump

2014-11-07 Thread Tom Kleinenberg
For the 'coagulate' part, if you want the lights to move to the centre, you can do a linear interpolate between the current point positions and the central point ('pointer' in your ICE set up?). The blend value will give a nice controllable attraction that should move into a round blurry shape.

Hi Adrian try running kick.exe -nodes, or kick.exe -info aaOcean as mentioned in the email off-list. you may have an incompatible arnold version. I am guessing you are using aaocean compiled against a newer api version. try the 4.2.0.1 version if kick says you are using an incompatible version.

Did you add Softimage to the 'Program Settings' inside the driver? Try disabling 'threaded optimization'. If available, set 'block transfer' off. However, you *can* use your latest working driver for the quadro card on the titan. sven --Original Message- From:
