Question: can it simulate a "snow dome" like:
1. Drop some "snow" objects into a complex scene so that they
come to rest realistically over the landscape.
2. Somehow exhurt a force apon the snow to thow it all up in
the air with a shaking motion.
3. It all falls back into the scene.
And that is all one continuous action. Possible?
I recently did that with Alias PowerAnimator (SGI) using it's particle
and dynamics module (which are very new and rather buggy) and it's
the sort of thing I hope to be able to do with LW someday.
I think that intergration INTO layout is essential so that everything
can be worked on together without needing to break into another module
(thinking back to the old particle LW modules - I have no idea how
these "plug ins" will work).
Cheers,
Row
