ICE

• Springs and damper attributes for ICE rigid bodies
  
• ICE Kinematics
• ICE can now drive the Global kinematic property
• The rigs' relationships can be expressed in a graph contained on a separate object (like a null)
• You can use the simulate ICE tree to easily do secondary dynamics
• ICE Kinematics and traditional Kinematics can live side by side

 

• ICE Tree
  • User Tools>Replace model name with this_model
  • Preference for disabling cycle checking when connecting nodes in ICE tree

  
  

  • ICE Compounds and Nodes
    • Includes much of Phil’s ICE Pack
    • Around 130 new compounds and nodes
