  mograph_shader_effector in conjuncion with dynamics

  Posted by Mike Van der noordt on April 22, 2010 at 7:48 pm

  Hi,
  I’m new to this forum, so maybe the question has been asked before…
  Anyway. It’s a question regarding Mograph. I made a grid of 20x50x1 cubes with the clonerobject. I applied a shader effector with a black and white lowres animation of a little geezer that walks across the grid (a bit of 8-bit kinda look), this effector I linked to the y position..

  Really nice effect!

  Ok now this is the problem; i’d like to turn my cloner object to a bunch of rigidbodies, turn my gravity to 0 and apply a local windforce (sphereshaped) that should follow the little geezer around and thus blow away the cubes behind him as a sort of trail… But it seems that you can’t use the shader effector in conjuction with rigidbody dynamics.. Is this true? or is there a work-around?

  thanx in advance!

  You can apply the texture to the clones without a shader effector. Just place the material on the cloner, use flat mapping, scale & rotate the UV projection with the texture axis tool, and then set the “Fix Texture” parameter in the cloner’s object tab to “Straight”.

  hey Adam, thanx, but the thing is that I need to influence the y position through the shader effector, not the color… I guess that’s not possible by just applying the texture to the cloner.. izzit?

  but still.. thanx!
