I always liked ocean surface geometry generator, the one that gave you a grid with fine detail close up and low detail in the distance and that was only generated within the cameras field of view. I think it kept the girid lines it aligned with the camera as well. Does anyone know of something similar floating around? I'd love to have the time to figure out an ICE topo tree to create it but no such chance right now. (hm.. could try projecting a grid from the camera position onto a ground plane though!)

I'm adding some simulation functions to our character rig, basically just a copy of the enveloped mesh that I am using for particle generation. In order for my setup to work, it needs to be a static pose. So what I am looking for is a way to remove the envelope's influence on a frame I choose, but keeping that static pose. Something like when you mute the envelope operator, but the mesh needs to stay in that pose and not snap back to it's pre-enveloped position. I want to be able to re-enable the envelope if I need to.
