Do not fret my dear John, the Softimage Fairy is here to bring happiness
and joy, and make your magical dreams come true.

Haha, just kidding. There is no Sotimage Fairy.

It's a simulated weightmap. You take an irregular geo (polygon reduction
is perfect to create these) and apply a fractal weightmap to it. Then
you create a new weightmap and add a simulated ICE tree to it. For each
point, check the value of the simulated weightmap on the neighbors. If
it's 1, add the value of the first weightmap to yourself.

This way, each point gets contaminated by its neighbors at different
speeds.

You only need to trigger the first point manually.

Re: Growth in ICE

[Francois Lord]

Here is something I did a few years back to reveal a map.
https://vimeo.com/26487726

It's a simulated weightmap. You take an irregular geo (polygon reduction
is perfect to create these) and apply a fractal weightmap to it. Then
you create a new weightmap and add a simulated ICE tree to it. For each
point, check the value of the simulated weightmap on the neighbors. If
it's 1, add the value of the first weightmap to yourself.

This way, each point gets contaminated by its neighbors at different
speeds.

You only need to trigger the first point manually.

Growth in ICE

[Morten Bartholdy]

I am doing some RnD on creating a frosty growth effect in ICE. I have looked at
Andy Moorers DLA which looks promising and tinkered with using animated mattes
for emitting particles with frostlike instances, but would like to perhaps use
fractal patterns og procedurals to control the growth, so I would like to ask
here if someone could point me to some useful tools or tutorials regarding this?

Excellent idea and good work Mirko and Peter :)
I can see this becoming very useful.

One suggestion - it might have been a good idea to start a new thread for this
for searchability.
