creep onto a polysurface with uv

[sanostol]

let's say I have a polyobject with a proper uv layout, how can I creep onto it. is there vex command that calculates the 3d position using a uv coordinate?

Maybe something like this?

hi vi_rus,

cool solution, but I need it for particles (many) and was looking for something I can use in vex, but as said allready, very cool

I finally complete my original idea! Yes, it with vex =) To understand how it works see the poly_creep_vex_example.hip file. Good luck =)

couldn´t you use just a ray-sop with some expressions for a setup like this. assumed you have propper uvs.
