Matrix Projector Effector Documentation

This is a Python Effector that is very similar to the Projected 2D Grid Advanced Distribution but offers more creativity.

The Effector will project clones on specific objects defined in the Projection Targets Inclusion List.

There are 7 directional projections 6 symmetrical for the three dimensions (X, Y, Z, -X, -Y, -Z) and a Custom one using any type of object from the Custom Target link. The last one will compute the direction by the vector constructed from the object's center to the center of the Effector object.

The other 2 projection modes are Spherical and Cylindrical. The Cylindrical Height attribute is relevant only for the Cylindrical projection mode and will ignore clones outside that height with is computed from the center of the Effector object.

Conform to Surface will rotate the clones to coincide with the normal of the collision polygon.

Note
The algorithm uses a custom ray-cast and can be slow for many (100+) instances.
