Hey guys, could I ask you to show an Ice tree of your ICE Shape Mixer. I've done extensive testing with using ICE for shapes. Basically I just added all of the vectors together and drove them by the kinematics of the controls. I also did my best to make sure that it didnt calculate certain things twice.
I tested it against a face rig that we use here that uses a normal mixer. And when all 180 shapes got reconnected. The Old School Mixer was faster. I ran 3 seperate tests and in the end the Old Mixer was faster than doing it with ice. I am very open minded and I may have done this incorrectly. can anyone offer suggestions or show me a tree of one of theirs?
