Hello again! been I while since I posted. I have a new question for the DT crowd.
I have an ICE particle system that I need to plot. Basically, need to be able to export animation out to maya. not so easy. here's the scenerio
Simulating particles with ICE. Need to be able to export out the SRT fcurves over to Maya for the other part of the team to finish the animation and deal with rendering. i've tried a couple of different techniques. The best I've been able to do is get the translation information across. I can create curves that define the particle's path. I can constrain objects to clusters via a couple of scripts. The problem seems to be that the clusters don't have rotational data....ergo the normal constraints don't properly rotate the objects to the particles. Is that clear? Its a bit frustrating.
Any ideas. I see similar threads all over the place, but not many good answers.
