Obliging User to
Assign Data Channel On “All”
Group is nonsence for heavy Tp
users…
That is just his example. You can specify the channels for individual groups if you like.
The First step in the
implementation should be
Simply to have Tp Group Picker
For Wich groups To apply the
Krakatoa Effect on … this is
the MOst important thing to
access tp…Allowing Multiple
Group Picking is Also
important …
We have a system like this for selecting which TP groups to actually render, but I think you misunderstand. The color and density extraction is not an effect. Krakatoa merely looks for custom channels named Color and Density when extracting particles. This is a workaround since there is no way to access the material information of each individual particle.
except i
dont get why you have to
Hardcode "Density " or Color
as a Data Channel is either a
Float of a Scalar , color
etc… You can Clamp the Color
Value from Krakatoa to only
access Apropriate Data Channel
and with a Small String Imput
field let the user specify
witch Data Channel he wants to
use for X ) Same thing for 0
Data channel hardcoded…
If I understand correctly, you would prefer a mechanism in the Krakatoa GUI to assign a channel number to the Color/Density data. It seems more straightforward and less error-prone to use the channel names. Is there any reason you would want to extract the color of a particle from a channel not named “Color”?
