A look at some commonly used array nodes. 00:38 build_array 02:57 flatten_nested_array 03:59 sequence_array 05:09 resize_array 06:27 random_value 10:02 get_from_array

A quick glance at how we can get component tags from Maya into BF and vice versa.

One way to create particle goals with the basic particles graph. All could be done inside the custom effects compound, but I wanted to try the property proxy field.

Been thinking about how to design compounds for motion graphics and animation, so here are some ideas, still work in progress. The intent is to provide high level compounds that let one focus on the creative aspect as much as possible while still providing deeper control through visual programming and keep things modular and extendable.

A lengthy look at the fundamentals of instancing in Bifrost. Topics below. There might be a part 2 about instancing animation. 00:00 create_instances and point_instance_id 09:24 randomize_selection_by_probabilities 12:16 selector_instance 17:40 instance scale (point_scale) 21:14 instance orientation (point_orientation) 27:43 weights and manipulator field

#bifrost #maya A look at the construct_strands node and how you can create your own strands in Maya with Bifrost. OG strands resource: maximejeanmougin.com/2020/09/08/bifrost-strands/ 00:00 strand structure: point & offset array 03:30 example: strands along sphere

I learned most of what I know about strands from this great blog post: maximejeanmougin.com/2020/09/08/bifrost-strands/ This is my personal take on some of the topics covered there. 00:00 intro 00:40 (1) point_ratio 03:43 (2) point_length 06:00 (3) point_size 08:40 (4) point_normal point_binormal point_tangent 12:21 (5) point_strand_index

A look at locations in Bifrost. Practical examples below. Wrap Deformer using locations on Maya Learning Channel th-cam.com/video/K6NCb6gO-9Y/w-d-xo.html Scatter on Deformed th-cam.com/video/uYI9pPb_-TE/w-d-xo.html

A walk through of how I went about this mimic/spider/creature/whatever procedural animation effect. I am sure there are many ways to get to something like that.

I guess it is called mimic effect, but I don't know why. Anyway, I tried to implement the effect I had seen in a pretty popular blender geo nodes video and this is what i came up with.

A look at how to set up feedback ports inside of an iterate node and how to append to arrays based on a condition.

A look at the construct_mesh node. First, by manually creating a very simple 3-quad poly plane and then a more procedural approach along a strand. This is a pretty low level compound, so it takes a bit of messing around.

Stealing some compounds from create_mesh_plane to create a loft.

If you want to try the motion path compound, you can find it in the compounds section of the Bifrost Addicts discord channel (you will have so scroll down to the archive and find it in the compounds section there) discord.gg/bifrost-addicts
