  mograph spline and volume effector issues

  Posted by Steve Davis on June 16, 2010 at 6:49 pm

  hi guys, im just doing some tests with spline effectors.

  basically, i have a tube of spheres cloned (200) and im using a spline effector to sweep them over into some text which is a spline, so the text is now covered in spheres.

  the problem is i now want to sweep them off the text and use the 200 spheres to fill an object.. is this possible? i thought volume effector might be the right one to use but i guess its not. instead of dropping the spline tect into the

  any tips would be much appreciated.

  thanks in advance!

  The volume effect doesn’t do what you’re thinking it does. It just affects P/S/R of any object inside the volume.

  What I would do would is:
  * Create a matix object with the same particle count as your cloner;
  * Set the mode to Object/Volume and reference the geometry you want the clones to fill;
  * Apply an inheritance effector to move the clones from the spline to the matrix particles (make sure “morph motion object” is checked).
