Managed to sort it thanks. You control the deform tools in layout by creating 2 nulls and assigning one to the base and one to the handle tabs. You can then control the deformation with the 2 nulls. Thanks anyway.

Thanx alot man. I AM bleeding tears. Havn´t been this frustrated since...I don´t know when. I just have to wait for it to be ready. Been looking at C4d these past days. But that´s too expensive and I´m too loyal to Lightwave. But I´ll check out Sasquatch a bit more.

From everything I've read recently about FiberFX, it's not really production-ready. Sasquatch - even with it's limitations - is probably a safer (and easier) bet. Interestingly enough, many years ago there was a video of How-To for Sasquatch that showed exactly what you are trying to do - having hair animated on a sphere moving up and down. It looked great. It was called Sasquatch: First Sighting. Great tutorial video and...

Certainly more than I was expecting for the first release, very interesting indeed. Steve

I think what makes the huge difference is the release of sdk! : )

Mind you, there is an orthographic camera (LW9.x). Or just zoom in alot, and pull the camera back alot (LW8.x). You'll get the iso look when the camera is oriented at an angle.

First of all; Hi CGTalk! Currently i'm working on a scene, that contains an particle-explosion, saved as pfx. Movement of the particle ipsud is well, but i want to move the whole emitter - is there any chance to do that without re-calculation all the particlemotion? I'd hoped about something like "play local", as there is for hardbody dynamics... any idea? thanks, tobi
