Re: Dart Throw Compound equivalent?
Houdini should be able to do this easily, a quick google search: http://schnellhammer.net/blog/2010/06/uniform-scattering-in-houdini/ On 5 May 2014 01:15, Sebastien Sterling sebastien.sterl...@gmail.comwrote: I hate finding out these sort of things post EOL :P, What!? you mean ICE could do that too ?! it's so frustrating, cause what you describe, sounds like such a neech tool, i doubt any of the other will have somthing that can 1:1 it in matters not just of result, but ease of use.

Thanks Alok, unfortunately I'm just the artist here with very little ICE experience (apart from using existing compounds), and no Fabric or splice knowledge.

Re: Dart Throw Compound equivalent?
Depends on which DCC you are looking at. The idea is to understand the logical innards of the compound and then to implement in the DCC of your choice. I am sure this can be refactored in Fabric and then using splice take it where you want. Cheers !
