CINEVERSITY

Hi Leah sam,

After two hours exploring it, I got more and more awareness, that it is not a simple solution, like:

"A Motion Vector map baked to the object could be sufficient for a DIY solution to drive the vector-based displacement, while Point normals are evaluated?" – Like how about complex shapes where points are on the "end of the model but have based on a fold the normals directed towards the current motion"?

Please use the "Share your idea!" here

This should be solved by the developers to cover all cases, be well-tested, and be production-ready.

This is not just a simple forum answer; the more I dug into it, the more it became clear that I will not invest more time into something that requires proper coding. Sorry.

Enjoy your weekend.

Hi cook-method,

I went through the whole procedural instruction of Dominik. He explained what could perhaps fit your setup that you like to re-create, but I can't find what you have in his content. There is a different Node in use.

If I'm not mistaken, he uses the Nodes (Deformer), not the Nodes Mesh.

Follow the other tutorial where he works with Noseman. This is a simpler stack and might be better to get started.

When this works, modify step by step, if needed.

• Nodes Modifier (Deformer): Changes something that already exists.
• Nodes Mesh: Creates something new.

Best to contact him in the video comments if that is not the cause of your problems.
or
You can explore your setup (Nodes Mesh) using the Current State To Object and take the results apart. This is not something the Cloner can use.

All the best.

You're very welcome, cook-method.

My best wishes.

You're very welcome, joel_motion,

You can send your questions here, which helps to prepare and answer.

Hi search-prompt,

It's great that you found something that works for you.

I had to ask if there is perhaps something new to make that happen, but no external MoGraph Cloner will read the content of the Scene Editor. With this, the Fields question for this purpose was answered.

I hesitate to reply here, as it would look like production is ready and a must-have option.

So far, it is more for developers who might draw from their knowledge of Python to use this more graphical interface to set up fun-to-use Capsules.

When it goes mainstream, I will invest more time into it.

Thanks for your patience and openness to alternatives.

Perhaps tune in tomorrow to the Ask the Trainer show and place some of the questions there. I had a chat this morning with Noseman about it.
