Can someone help me turbulize these point positions...

[Pete]

Hi All,
I'm just working on a little Ice compound to scatter objects around an intersection with another object, and I wanted to be able to turbulize to original reference points but I keep getting a contextual error


Does anyone know a way around this!


Thanks

What is "polymsh" in your scene? Is that the object to which the ICE tree is applied?

The context message says "polymsh.polymsh", so I assume polymsh is the output of some op like Merge.

Hi Steve!

I checked out a bunch of your tutes to try and find the answer but I'm still stumped...
The "polymsh" is from creating an empty poly mesh to create the scatter compound in.
If you feel like having a look, drag this model into an empty scene. (Can you do that straight from the browser?)

Turbulize Around Value contains a Get Particle Position node, and that forces the context to per-point of polymsh (polymsh is the object to which the ICE Tree op is applied).

You need to unplug that Get Particle Position and provide a per-point of "Object A" value. Then you can turbulize that.

And yes, you can drag an .emdl from the browser into the Softimage viewport
