this is one of my biggest complaints with Soft in maya you can get a fractal texture and drive anything with it, and see it in the viewport....
so, for example you can drive the emission rate of particles or their size i know you can use turbulize, but you can't see the turbulence, unless you also drive a weightmap with the turbulence, but then you need a really dense mesh.... too many hoops to jump through! what would be excellent is being able to evaluate rendertree procedurals/mixers and pass that data through to ICE i just did a shot setting a zeppelin on fire, i used a complex mix of fractals/ICE driven weightmaps to texture holes burning through an object, but to feed this 'matte' into the fluid sim, i had to rendermap these fractals to use as a texturemap sequence in the ICE tree... (don't even get me started on fractals rendering differently between mental ray and arnold!) it just bothers me that ICE is incredibly open in most areas, but then at some point we always seem to come up against a broken pipe! /end rant a -----Original Message----- From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Stefan Kubicek Sent: 05 July 2013 10:28 To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: OT rayfire voxels Not much in there that cannot be done with ICE, there are plenty of ready-made compounds being shared by others for this kind of stuff.
