I certainly think so - thanks Patrick :) //Morten > Den 8. juni 2016 klokken 12:16 skrev patrick nethercoat > <patr...@brandtanim.co.uk>: > > > could this be the one? > > On 8 June 2016 at 10:51, Morten Bartholdy <x...@colorshopvfx.dk> wrote: > >

Rolling carpet rig?

I seem to recall having seen a tool or method for rigging and creating an unrolling carpet somewhere along the line. I checked rray.de/xsi but found nothing through a number of searches. Does anyone here remember this one and where to find it? Thanks - Morten -- Softimage Mailing List. To

Stable CSG Booleans in Implosia?

I am working on creating fluid in a bottle where I would like to animate the fluid surface rather than simulate fluids, so I am looking at animating an object which I use to cut the fluid object with Implosias CGS Booleans. Unfortunately it seems they are no more stable than the built in

Re: Color from particles to Legolizer?

Hmm, I forgot to actually ask if someone has an idea regarding how to grab these colors or more specifically how to hook them into the legolizer compounds. //MB > Den 1. juni 2016 klokken 15:08 skrev Morten Bartholdy <x...@colorshopvfx.dk>: > > > I am playing with Ed S

Color from particles to Legolizer?

I am playing with Ed Shiffers and Giuliu Toninis fine Legolizer compounds and ran into a snag. I would like to get colors for my Legolizer Lego bricks either from a particle pointcloud or from voxels from a fluid simulation so I can make nice Lego explosions with it. I have yet to figure out
