Collision Constraint custom operator

Collision Constraint OpAuthor: Michor Lu
Updated/ported to C++/win64. Just a very basic collision detection custom operator for Softimage written in Python. I've heard animators (or other departments after them ) complain so much about feet not making contact with the ground because they don't have time to check due to super tight deadlines. Anyway, it was a great exercise in trying to learn how custom operators work and in the process I got a better understanding on Quaternion rotations. Just copy to your workgroup or user »ApplicationPlugins« folder and restart Softimage.

not the same thing AFAIK

Looks great, thanks!

BTW I am asking gurus here, is it possible to reproduce this kind of compound with ICE? Plug-ins could be incompatible with the newer versions of SI but Compounds work. Don't bombard me with answers like "go and try for yourself" I don't know ICE and I don't have time to learn it in the future also because I am focusing on Modeling and rendering instead of FX and kinda stuff. BTW more constrains would always be welcome on my part, I love constraints:)

I think he was responding to the post about adding deformations to the plugin. Anyway, I' pretty sure it is doable in ICE. I could give it a go just learn a bit more about ICE. :)
