thekenny Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Anyone care to help out an old fart being too smart for his own good? I've generated my point cloud via a scatter and I'd like to be able to have a lookat cpontrol that drives each point's normal at the target, however.. ideally points would only biased in the general direction of the target so there would be some random pertb on each points rotation. so really the normals would prefer the general direction of the target but not be so obvious that they care completely I'm messing around in VOPs to do this but I'm not getting something most likely basic... to get the control I want. Anyone care to help out? thanks -k PS i blame maya for rotting my mind slowly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I understood what you asked for.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
