Hi all,

Sorry if I am asking some silly questions, but is there a way to 'refresh' the Ox Strand Gravity. 

Say I have a character and I have a few poses for still shots, is there a way to 'Refresh' the modifier so it works in the new pose without reapplying it?

Or maybe I am doing it all wrong?

Thanks!

Hi Shan,

No problem, we are happy to help. However, I'm not sure if I understand what you want to do... Can you please clarify? by the way, the Gravity modifier is not a simulation modifier, this modifier is intended to "Cheat" or fake the gravity effect.

Thank you very much, 

So say in the example, I have a character, that I need to pose in a few stills. Because it is not for animation I don't really need a dynamics setup, I just need to take renders in a few different posers. A quick way is to use the Gravity modifier to easily get my still shots. But everytime I change the pose, I have to delete the gravity modifier and put it back on to get the updated pose. If there was a refresh button or something it would be good so I don't have to re-apply the modifier everytime. Even if this could be triggered by maxscript it would be great

Ox don't have this function right now, but you can change the gravity direction by selecting the Gravity subobject and rotating the gravity plane. What you suggest is a good idea, we will look into it, thanks!
