Title: Image/texture map to drive position in Y

 

That was probably Chris. I ended up writing a scripted op for him that would be applied to a particle system with instances. It worked well. Good and fast too.

Hi all,

A Little while ago there was a post about using a texturemap to drive the position of a particular object - such as one of those pin image things - yeah  - I forgot what they are called - the ones you puch your hand into and it holds the shape as a bunch of pins - I know that someone posted something along those lines recently, I have misplaced the mail, and not knowing what the 'real' technique is called does not help with online searches!!  Anyone????  We want to use a texturemap projected over a bunch of objects to set their positions in y for e.g.???

Thanks

Sandy
