Yup!! as macha said make some noise. something like this. dispMap.hipnc

go to the folder where your ifds are saved and then put for %i in (*.*) do mantra -f %i into the command prompt(cmd). hth. petz

Maybe create a noise with a good range of values, and then clip them. Imagine it as a landscape, and you want get a certain level of height and a range above and below that height. Get the frequency so that the size is what you want, then clip them, make them all black, or white and multiply your original other noise function (your background noise) with it.

I usually do that with a python script like that one : # import dos commands import os # variables startFrame = 1 endFrame =6 ifdName = "renderme." ext = ".ifd" for i in range (startFrame, endFrame): renderFile = '%s%04d%s'%(ifdName,i,ext) renderCmd = "mantra -f "+ renderFile print "----------------------------------------------------------------" print "Mantra is rendering file: " + renderFile print "----------------------------------------------------------------" print renderCmd os.system(renderCmd)

what about this one? sop move_up(float height=0) { P.y += height; }

Also, there is getcomp/setcomp vex functions..

you can call components of a vector by using P.x, P.y or P.z ! cheers, Manu
