Hi Matthias..
Thx for sharing...
The tut is nice and clear...
At times I wish the workflow of the constructors were as clear...=)..
Only thing, as Brian (Zaug) pointed out...
But Hey, its not a big deal.. and if I would want, I would just myself add
them to a single page.. have done other editing on other stuff I have
fetched from the net.. and so on..to fit my way of working or reading
them..=)
(which I am sure others do as well..at times)
Here is an example..
Lattice
Metaball
Creator
AnalyticSphere (Bound to the Lattice, and has there for only ONE
chor inside its .init chor, (3d lattice1 <-- lattice1)
If you Manually Drag the AnalyticSphere through the Lattice cage.. it
deforms nicely... as it should..
But if you play the animation, so the Creator spray out AnalyticSpheres
...those wont be deformed.. =) (and therefor not the MetaBall Mesh..)
(Note: At this stage, the Creator works, ..that is.. it sprays out
AnalyticSpheres.. without having to set the Simulation for anything)
You now need to add a Simulation Chor and place it before the (3d lattice1
<-- lattice1) Chor to get the Deformation to work as it should..(and it
does.. as you also have pointed out in your nice Tut)
(Note2: If you now, Delete this Simulation Chor, the Creator sometimes Stops
working =), and also the deformation..accordingly, which is odd when it
worked without any chor at all Prior to adding the Simulation Chor =), ..)
Well when it works.. then its very powerful..
Especially this setup to create Metaball stuff, with Creator and then Deform
and bend and noise it up with different constructors (even animated
Constructors..)
Here is a simple one done with some LatticeDeformers and Creator in action..

Once again..thanks for your contributions.. not only on this.. but on many
other things as well..!
Sharing at its best..! keep it coming..
I have a Simple Character Tut in progress.. hope I will get my acts together
so it will see the light of day..=)
Here is a sneak preview on a simple test with my Tut Character in action...
