i have been playing with my own ice shapecombiner, using softimage’s built in shape key properties. they have a positions attribute that you can use in the graph.

maybe you can store your initial state in that? its a 3D vector per point…

Hi Steven,

that’s actually a very good idea - however I am trying to pass a DoubleArray of arbitrary length per vertex into the ICE graph. For three values per vertex your solution would be perfect, for one value per vertex I could use a weightmap.

I also thought along the lines of mis-using an envelopeWeights Property but stopped that approach because it got dirtier and dirtier as I couldn’t find a straightforward way to create an EnvelopeWeights Property that wasn’t depending on a live envelopeOp.

Cheers,

Martin
