hi all .... i've got a small problem .... all suggestions welcome .....
Suppose I have a thousand objects in my scene, and all of them have a meshsmooth modifier in a disabled state.
Initially all the objects are static, and then they start moving. I need the meshsmooth of each object to be turned on only when it crosses a particular position in y, say $.pos.y > 100.
I need this happening during render time (with mental ray)....
I dont wish to go into each of the 1000 objects and add a script in there ....
This is what I tried till now :
I added a new object, a simple box into the scene, changed the rotation controller to a rotation script controller and type in the following :
---------------------------------------------------------
x = $sphere* as array --- suppose my objects are sphere01, sphere02 ... etc
for i in x do
(
if (i.pos.y > 100) then (i.modifiers[#Meshsmooth].enabled = true)
else (i.modifiers[#Meshsmooth].enabled = false)
)
quat 0 0 0 1
----------------------------------------------------------------
now, this works fine in the viewports, as well as if i use the default scanline renderer, but if i shift to mental ray, the script doesn't seem to work ....... please help.
thanks in advance
