Can you explain a bit detail how to build and apply the material? i'm missing something around aiUtility connection to aiRampRgb node. Can't find any help how to assign different color to instanced spheres. Great tutorials, Thanks!

👌🏻

[@user-sz8zk8dl2u]

hey i dont understand how you search for sphere

[@SurferXGhost1293]

Can this be animated ?

[@Autodesk_Maya]

Absolutely! You would just need to keyframe the base parameters of the spheres.

If the flow samples per second is not giving low enough number of spheres, use filter array. Generate a boolean array using for_each, modulo, equal and if nodes. For getting the max_iteration, use array_size node. Now you should be able to keep every nth point in the point position array.

If anyone wondering there's some special output from aiUtility that must go in aiRamp's input.. don't worry.. just take any one of outColor's R,G or B

[@tsaworks]

don't know how .. tried each connection ..

[@tsaworks]
