Re: Setting Local ICE Tree Moves Object

[Christopher]

My intention was to use point clusters, for a 'industrial rubber' type effect weight maps are a better solution.  How do I get the child of an object to collide with another object so that is 'squeezes' between the parent and the static object that sits on it's own ?  Raycasting seems like it may be the solution ?

When rephrased like that, it's just a matter of subtracting the two object positions, plugging the result into a Length node, and plugging that into whatever is driving the deformation. gray From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Sam Cuttriss Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 11:49 AM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: Setting Local ICE Tree Moves Object So.... You have an ice tree that moves points. When you plug it in; it moves points?
