Description

This is one of my experiments using LW dynamics on 2 poly chains. I've actually got two copies of the same spline ball here, each with an instance of Sas . . .interesting thing is that by putting one instance of Sas above the Cloth modifier in the Deform tab, and one below, one instance of Sas is rendered with model at rest position, while the other is rendered at another time point.

And at the institute, the said you were mad! Ha! :) Great experiment, wicked looking creature. Bad hair day and all.

Hmmm, I've had similar experience with Chars as particle emmiters. Some particles are from Char rest pos and some from character in motion (how I want it). REALly interestic pic!! That's a scary Triffid.

Absolutely fascinating! Your experiments are opening up whole new avenues of artistic expression using Sasquatch. It's kinda like alien-dreadlocks on a fuzzy jellyfish... fascinating... :o) VOTE!

I have no idea what you are saying, but it looks cool to me :-D

Your experiments are way too cool. More more more!

Re: Askguden-- yes, that was a mouthful. This is just a bunch of two point poly chains -- a single point poly rail extruded with 15 or twenty points. Then I radial arrayed it. Then I ran cloth dynamics on it. Then I rendered, applying Sas twice. . .once in the rest position (Sas instance below the Cloth instance on the Deform tab), and with another instance above the Cloth. That way one instance renders where the chains are at frame zero -- because its evaluated before the Cloth-- and the other instance gets evaluated at whatever frame of the simulation you're on. The tight blue helixes are the rest state, and I've also limited them to %30 of the "length along spline"; the ropey things are the full spline length, and show the effect of graity. I am thinking about deci6el's point. . .can't use emmitters for Sas, but could extract a motion path and use that a new spline. . .always something to explore

Excellent Experiment! The Fx You Can Acheive Are Sky-limit!

Thats really weird and really cool! Looks like it could be alot of things but to me it looks like a huge moble organic city for bug creatures.

looks like someones head of hair touching one of those electric balls- hehe- Have no idea what you are talking about either- but it is a kewl render! Hugs Anne :}
