change Lattice object?

[Anonymous]

Hi, I've recently been experimenting with the lattice modifier and was curious if there's a way to input a custom object over the default joint options (Tetra,octa,icosa). i.e. placing a teapot on each of the vertices that inherits the colour/texture of the plane.

Thanks,

J

not possible

Would there be an alternate method to achieve this i.e. creating it in particle viewer to achieve similar outcome?

you can use SUBSTITUTE MODIFIER too..check this.

Thanks very much for that @rendermaster , on a slightly different note do you think it would be possible to transfer this kind of mapping method to spotlights?

i.e. I essentially want to have a series of spotlights that change colour based on video, is there a way you can change their input colour based on mapping?  desired result below

Thanks again for your help

not sure if this is what you want, check this:

@rendermaster No it's not necessarily a single light projection of 1 image, rather each spotlight acting as a pixel on a low res screen.

Somehow the spotlight would change it's RGB value based on the pixel it's trying to represent.

The two most straightforward ways I would think to do this is either with a self illumination map, or just hand keyframe the lights color to change.

You may be able to get a similar effect by parented lights to turn on and off depending on different colored objects...
