Basically I need something similar to the shown effect here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/763668/ICE/Wipe_Matte_ICE_Test_01.mov
- only I either need a sort of trigger or a texturemap lookup because I would like the tiles to stay big after the null passes, so I can use it as an advanced wipe for revealing a shaded surface. I imagine it would be less interactive but simpler to set up using a texturemap wipe sequence, look that up and drive values from it. The interactive version should likely be having a box moving along the object triggering a transfomation which takes place and then leaves the particles in their new state. This, I guess, would involve states and conditional stuff, so a way beyond my ICE capabilities :/ I am contemplating setting it up with detached polygons and use an inset deformer to scale the polys - this means I would probably avoid the rotation since that would be more complex to set up, but I would have shape, orientation and relative size of each poly correct so I would not need to set that in an ICE tree. I would still need a way to drive it with a texturemap wipe sequence though, so that is what I am looking for atm.
