Instancer Transfer Attributes
Posted: Sun Sep 20, 2020 9:13 pm
How can I word this without completely embarrassing myself.
I have geometry with a group (can be prims or points, promote later if necessary)
I Mops-instance the geometry.
The group does not survive Packmaggeddon. It's lost in the packing, I imagine. This is a bit embarrassing not to understand.
But...there's 'Transfer Attributes' field. My syntax for that would be "@group_groupname'?
Can I gird my group's loins to survive the guantlet of Packing/Instancing?
TIA,
Richard aka DamageJack
TL;DR
back in the day, we had something called DiTools for CInema 4D, made by a german coder named Remotion. It was brilliant, and I used it on some 2003 NBATV idents. Then came a mad coder named David Farmer (aka 'darf'), who wore cowboy boots with shorts and phoned the Maxon office in Friedrichsdorf at all hours (I have this from the Maxon folk, with whom I'm sometimes buddy-buddy). David made Jenna. He also made all the crazy noises before disappearing from the scene. Then Per Anders kinda took over, went into the Maxon world with the X-Particles guy known as 'obeardy' and out popped the Mograph Module.
And that's your geneology as I know it, Mr. Storm of Toads. Cheers...
