If the point counts are consistent with Id’s all you need to do is calculate the distance between the shapes to get the length and direction.
\nsops wrangle: vector targetPos = point(1,”P”,@ptnum); vector restPos = point(0,”P”,@ptnum);
\nv@splashP<\/a> = (targetPos – restPos) * ch(“splashPMult”); v@splashV<\/a> = (targetPos -restPos ) * ch(“splashVMult”);
\nYou can create something like a splashP and splashV attribute to control in flip, pops, etc.
\nI did something like that on the first badguys and some other shows. zerply.com\/r\/29FebF6u\/badguys-fx<\/a>
\nI animated sdf’s and controlled the ocean sim to match the shapes and timing.
\nYou’ll want to calculate a birthFrame in sops, then you can animate the force procedurally.
\nwrangle in dops: float tf = f@birthFrame<\/a> ; float offset = f@s<\/a>;
\nfloat tfOffset = tf + ch(“offset_mult”);
\nfloat timer = fit(@Frame,tf,tfOffset,1,0);
\nv@P<\/a> += (v@splashP<\/a> * timer)*ch(“amount_mult”);
\nv@v<\/a> += (v@splashV<\/a> * timer)*ch(“amount_mult”);
\nI did something a bit more technical on elemental using jakes optimal transport but the same idea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
