Hi, how can i align a point/dummy to eatch particle on a PFlow?
ex. 20 particles in one pflow and 20 dummys
So you want to do it from inside PFlow (in a scripted operator), or from an external script.
In the first case, you can take a look at http://www.scriptspot.com/bobo/mxs5/pflow/pflow__MovingObjects.htm
It is also part of the MAXScript Reference 7.5 update, under How To…
To align from the outside, you could use very similar code. In that case, the dummies will not follow the motion, they will be just aligned to the current frame. But using a time loop and With Animate On, you could keyframe the dummies to follow the particles.
I have been using this approach in production and it has some great implications…
It should work like this:
First i create 100-2000 dummy copies (they don’t need to be created automatic)
Then eatch new particle should align a dummy to it.
particle1 aligns dummy1
particle2 aligns dummy2
etc.
