 | | | Freezing Particle Instances? | Freezing Particle Instances? 2004-03-23 - By Morten Bartholdy
Back
I have used particle emmision to model an uneven surface from a group of
irregular spheres, using instances. Question is, is there a way to expand these
instances to regular geometry so I no longer need the particle system? This is
because I want to continue modeling on the new surface and I would like to get
rid of the particles so I also have the option of working with the model in XSI
Essential.
I tried Isners Instance Duplication script but get an error on line 39 - maybe
it does not work with Particle Instances...
Any suggestions?
TIA!
