doh!
yeah, putting the whole thing in a NON simulated tree works much better... live and learn thanks guys a _____ From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Alan Fregtman Sent: 19 March 2013 14:04 To: XSI Mailing List Subject: Re: proximity push That's probably because you have a Simulation operator stack marker. If you have one, things below it only evaluate on the first frame. Anyway, you can already do this effect without simulation and without custom stuff using "Move Points Outside Geometry", which comes with Softimage (since 2012 or so, I think -- anyway it's part of Phil's ICE Pack if you don't already have it.) The only thing that doesn't do is let you push beyond the actual surface (so there's some space between), but that's trivial to hack into it (or you could clone your egg and scale it up a bit, and use that for the ICE input.)
