Component Selection done in ICE?

[probiner]

Tried to use clusters. I've thought it was the rational thing to do, but apparently I cannot set them.

How do you guys go about this?

Can Python create on-thefly Trees to return values or such?


Thanks

So you want to change the iselement attribute? taking an edge from it for example? Why don't you make a new attribute?

I uploaded an image i don't know where i got it.

I don't want to change the cluster selection input to drive something in ICE.
I want to actually change the cluster with ICE to drive something out of ICE, with the cluster.

Take this simple example: If element posY is less than 2, then it belongs to the cluster. Now if I have an Edge Bevel applied to the edge-cluster, the Operator selection will dynamically change.

So you want dynamic clusters driven by ICE. Does it needs to be a cluster, could not be a weightmap driven by ICE?

I just ask because i never saw something like that so i am not sure if it is possible.

[probiner]

Being able to control the cluster population would be great to drive common operators using said cluster. Weight map won't cut here because it's edge selection.

Anyways I've found several solutions on Mailing list:

1 - Use EdgeCrease attribute.

2 - This script by Martin Yara. Should be in rray


3 - This script by Fabricio Shamon that can be very usefull to lots of things. Just have a boolean type "self.select" attribute on the selected object's ICE tree and it will turn that into component selection.

Could this be related?.. Didn't check..
