create weightmap based on proximity

[userX4542]

Hey,

I would like to create a weightmap based on the proximity between two objects (closest location). The closer the objects are to eachother, the higher the values should be.

I tried following the transfer CPV data tutorial on youtube and downloaded the compound but it doesnt seem to work for me. No colours appear. Also, I don't want to transfer colorset data, I just want to create it. 

Ultimately I would like this to be live and usuable in a shader network. 

Thanks!

Hi @mjcg91 

There is a way to falloff overtime. Not only accumulate but i will like to have something  like dissipation over time?

I suppose is the same method with range and if accumulate over, but i don't get over this idea.

Thanks

Hello @darioOrtisi,

You can do that to fade values over time. It will eventually clamp to 0 (black). the rate value means how much the value should face per second. If set to 1, a white point will become black in 1 second. 0.5 in 2 seconds...etc

The idea I got looks good but my implementation sucks.  Thanks Maxime, i will try to understand how to make wipe inverted but blend togheter.

Unfortunately i don't have this scene anymore. Failed backup.

Anyway, this scene get the principle that are on the basic scene posted inside this thread. Nothing more then.

Hi @mjcg91, 

this technique is fantastic - thank you for showing us. I would like to get the resulting colour property out of the bifrost graph and access it as a connectible doubleArray map attribute for other uses. I cannot figure out how to do that, are you able to help and give me an example please? Or anyone else who knows! I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance!
