metaclay

[zeeshan-anjum]

hi,

i'm doing a test on simulating a flubber-like animation. i used metaclay on modelling and setup a skeleton for animation. i tried to attach qstretch for animation but it said that qstretch doesn't work with metaclay. Are there other ways to achieve the stretch effect that qstretch provides? or am i wrong from the start?

I live in a 3d_world...

the only way i can think of this working is if you convert the metaclay to polys. that way qstretch should work fine.

i dont think it would be possible to get the desired effect another way becuase this usually involves deforming the object via it's vertices/control points. these do not exist in meta clay elements as they are made from iso-surfaces (a field equation) and are only rendered as polygons so that it is visible.

sorry i cant be of more help
