animatable magnets

Post by MarkBorok »

I just played around with the Moho 5 beta and saw that the magnet feature, which I was looking forward to, is a drawing tool. That's great, but I was hoping for a magnet object that could be placed in an animation to attract nearby points/layers/particles. This would be quite useful for things like gravity and wind, where you want a bunch of points to be affected depending on their distance from the center of the magnet. For instance, if you have a field of grass you could move a magnet over it and the blades would bend as they try to follow the magnet. Similarly if you had a character with a head of hair you could cause the hair to point down at the ground no matter which way the parent bone turned. The magnets should be able to either attract or repel.
