Hi all, I have an interactive project with and LED screen and Kinect. I would like to have some hanging plants like vines with flowers attached on the screen. When people walk past, the vines would sway, as if the breeze caused by the people is moving the plants. Does anyone know how to go about this?
Hey Cormac,
I’ve worked on a very simple project in 0.923 to create some vine-like geometry for you to play with!
The secret is the particle mesh deformer - this lets you use any particle affector on selected geometry. Here i’ve used the cloth and spring particle affectors which can create vines that come close back to their original positions.
It’s currently being controlled with a mouse point array, which lets you control your scene in Builder with a mouse click.
Using the mouse point array with a force effector can control the vine swaying - but you can switch the mouse point array for any other arrays, or a video input.

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much, this is really great! It’s fantastic to be able to get an understanding what each node does. There are so many possibilities.
