Re: dripping
sounds like a task for polygonizer, if you can reconstruct the object with particles. (as in: it’s organic looking – ice cream would certainly work) emit static particles from the object, get properties, such as color from the emitter polygonize the particles into an approximation of the original object. use triggers/states to make some outlying particles start to move, such as reacting to gravity, and sliding along surface. to get outlying particles, test if they are in a volume - with a pushed version of the emitter lots more can be done for sure – but that could be a basis where it gets tricky is proper collision with the melting object, and at some point it might be better to do the object as a liquid with lagoa, for internal pressure, viscosity and so – but I’d avoid going there if you can. (well – if it has to look creamy and blobby, you can get away with relatively few particles and it might no be so bad) From: Chris Marshall Sent: Monday, May 18, 2015 2:44 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: dripping ok thanks On 18 May 2015 at 13:33, gareth bell garethb...@outlook.com wrote: Not sure if this is of any use or not.

So imagine an icecream cone with dripping around the edge. I thought I might be able to get Lagoa to do this, but haven't got very far. Any thoughts?

There is also the melt geometry compound found here: http://www.si-community.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=19t=289 On Tue, May 19, 2015 at 12:51 PM, Stephen Davidson magic...@bellsouth.net wrote: How about this compound? https://vimeo.com/81695137 On Mon, May 18, 2015 at 8:26 AM, Chris Marshall chrismarshal...@gmail.com wrote: Hi I'm trying to create an effect of an object dripping, as if melting.
