is there an ICE Scatter Compound?

Post by Pete » 24 Mar 2010, 03:08

Hi there,

Just wondering if anyone knows of an ICE Scatter compound that would allow me to scatter instances over the surface of a deforming animated mesh?
I have been trying to make one but it's Day 3 and I got nothin so far except a scary looming deadline...

Thanks
Pete

ultimate edit: found this blog entry, which seems to demonstrate what you're looking for. It is in the Czech language, so you'll probably have to use the Google Translate function But it's mostly pictures so you may not want to bother with the horrible translations Google offers...
Stay safe, sane & healthy!

An another way that I used many times, is to use two objects, and setup like this one
