Re: ICE emit particles and follow branching geometry

Your best bet is to create a mesh from those curves and transfer the curve's tangent onto the mesh as a vector attribute. Emit from the curve but use the geo's attribute to set the direction. How Paul Smith's hair grooming stuff works essentially. Using a group of curves or even doing one

Re: ICE emit particles and follow branching geometry

Huh... works actually. I remember this not working before... carry on never mind. Eric T. On 3/19/2015 12:25 PM, Eric Thivierge wrote: Closest location doesn't work with curves fed in with a group. It always uses the first one. Eric T. On 3/19/2015 12:23 PM, Grahame Fuller wrote: Greg

Re: Scripting copy pasting of UV sets?

Select all of the original meshes and run. Hopefully your objects are numbered sequentially starting from 0 and up and doesn't have number padding. # Python si = Application for i in xrange(si.Selection.Count): si.CopyUVW(Alembic_tiles1.Cube_new_ + str(i) +

Re: Introducing Canvas - visual programming for Fabric Engine 2.0

One thing you kind of see / feel already is that you can start mixing things you normally couldn't in ICE. An example is to read in an alembic and have it as an input into a rig. An example is to load an alembic of your ground and have your leg solvers collide with it. Of note would be that
