Quick quesiton. I went back and reviewed how to parent the noise field in RF to the core and for some reason on my sim, the noise field won't move. I have it as active, bounded, and parented to the core. Still nothing. Is this normal or am I missing something small? Otherwise, I hopefully will be posting a meshed core here soon!

Hey all, I was having the damnedest time getting the basic set up for the Potter Effect and thought I would share my setup with you if anyone else was having problems.

I found that the curve flow will not follow the duplicate softbody curve, so instead of creating it as the video shows, swap it over to softbody on the original and create a duplicate as a back up, then the curve flow will follow all the turbulence movement.

My next problem was getting the end of the curve to follow the movement of my sphere. Of course this took me waaaaaaay longer than it should have, but it came down to basically goaling the softbody particles to the sphere as well. So they now have 2 goals on them. Edit the particles like Luis does in the video with the component editor however there is one more step. Swap your particle render attributes over to numeric and figure out what the particle ID is for the tail end particle. Then swap the goal weight for the cube over to PPgoal weight.

Quick tip I just learned this week. If you upload your video directly to VFX Learning only friends of yours can comment on it! So if you will be uploading to the site directly please be sure to friend me too so I can take a look and give you a little feed back.

However, if you link your video to the site (ie Upload to Vimeo or Youtube) anyone can comment on it. Let me know if this doesn't make sense. Also Luis, tell me if this is wrong or if you prefer we upload to the site directly!
