#Script follow objects
4 messages in this thread
Martin,
I just bought The Script Extension. I have been looking for some
scripts that show some ways to select and move a certain area of pixels, but so
far I havn't found anything. I would like to use it to change the expressions
on a texture mapped face. Is it possible to do this using TSE? I know where
the pixels (eyebrows, mouth) are on the model. I thought I could count the
pixel row and column using photoshop, and then go back and use a script to move
them, frame by frame if I have to. What has been done in this area?
Also I want to move a group of 12 follow objects that define the
movement of the whole figure in IK. I want to make a canned movement cycle
that includes shoulder rotation, head and body bobbing, weight shifting from
left to right foot, etc. Has anybody written something like this that can be
applied to any figure?
Third! I want to write a script that will place the model's feet on a
path that follows the contour of a surface, but doesn't sink into it. I am not
sure how to approach this one. Maybe select the closest vertices on the
surface to the path and then enter them in an array…..? How would I operate
on them to make sure I was on top, and not inside the surface? Perhaps a dummy
could then be made to follow the contour?
Regards,
Sanford
sanford –
some great ideas here. think i might steal one or two <BG>.
how you been doin'? do you have some time to talk to my November 3D Studio
User's Group meeting? Pick your topic. Third Saturday. (I'll bring the beer).
send me a note
(gee, it is easier typing just in lower case. now i know why ee cummings did
it!)

Bob,
Sure, I think I can make the meeting. There is a ton of stuff to talk
about. How about metaballs modeling and animation with Organix?

That would be great! We need somone for the November meeting. I'm convering
World Builder this month, and a guy is coming in to do the Blob Modeller
(shareware). I thinks it's actually one of the developers.
Let me know "for sure" so I can lock it down, and I'll announce it up on my
websites, and get Bill A. at 3d Artist to note it.
How's trix?
