Push based on another objects normals

[Pete]

Hi there,

I'm just trying to get a push effect based on another object's normals and I'm having a bit of trouble
I have this ice tree that works a push deformer based on it's own normals but I can't plug in any other objects "Get Point Normals"...

Any idea how I could get this to work?

Thanks
Pete

This should help.
Move the sphere around, makes for some interesting effects...

hmm thanks but i cant seem to replicate it even if I do what seems to be the exact same thing?

This is my attempt -


And the one from the sample scene -


Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Ums. May be a typo in pointnormal? It's Self.PointNormal not Self.Point Normal.

i think just "pointnormal" as one word would work fine. you don't need the ".self" synthax as you pull the position from the pointneighbors location and not from the point itself.
