Particle position as goal

[spurv]

Hi,

Anyone knows how can I use the particle positions of a point cloud as a goal for particles on another point cloud?

Tks

Ok,

Imagine you want to create a pile of cards building up like tetris.... what would be the best approach?

[fabricio.chamon]

on an insumulated icetree, build all your pile at once.
get any mesh or a null -> point in volume/test inside null -> NOT -> delete point.

now animate the null/geo to reveal the particles.

of course this is as simple as it can get, put the flourishes on top of it.

ops, sorry I misunderstood your question...

[bottleofram]

Can you explain that in more detail? I dont think you intentions are quite clear.

Sure,

I want to animate a tower of cubes growing, imagine tetris but with cubes slowly pilling on top of each other, a bit randomly NO rigid body dynamics.
I'm animating it by hand but its a pain in the ass.

So my approach would be, generate a 3D grid of particles and then try to match another point cloud with the positions on that grid, like a particle morph/Goal.. but I cant do it...

Here's something simple. The target point cloud is an empty point cloud with an ICE tree that uses Generate 3D Point Grid. That way the points have IDs. I rotated it so the lower IDs are at the bottom.

Then I emit from a point cloud and match up the emitted points with the corresponding point on the target.

Wow, great man!! Can´t wait to try this tomorrow!

Perfect man, It really works! Tks!
