Re: attach objects to end of strand
Bit late but.. i think there's a strand to curve script/ ice tree. If it's dynamic you could maybe use that and constrain geo to the end of the curves. Ok for as few stands/curves.. not so practical for loads. Adam On Thu, 8 Mar 2018, 14:13 Francisco Criado, <malcriad...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for the tip Paul!

Re: attach objects to end of strand
Yes. Filter out the position of the point you want. By ID or whatever. Then get “set average” of the output of the filter ( to bring it into object context rather than point) Then use that value to drive the Translation value of SRT to matrix and use the resulting matrix to drive the Global Kine of the object. If you want to drive the rotation of the object , you can set the rotation by using the normal of the emitting object and have that rotation plugged into the SRT too(find it via emit location or find closest location to geo) . Or if there is no object, you’ll have to make your own rotation. You could do this by using the strand itself. Filter out the strand positions. Select 0 and 1 from the array, subtract one from the other and use the resulting vector as a direction to rotation.. You’ll need to also give it an up vector, but I can’t really help with that without looking at whats appropriate in your scene.
