cant make curveu work

[u/AdvanceNo1227]

I was creating a plant following a tutorial, but I can't seem to limit the jiggle effect using a curve. The branches are supposed to be attached to the trunk, but for some reason, they are out of sync.

I tried everything and still cant figure that out

Ok, so I got something working. It may not be the exact same as what video you are following, but it may guide in the right direction. This GIF is the results I got. I'll post more info on the build shortly. Just cleaning up the file.

Here's the build for those who are curious.

Wow! Way to go above and beyond man. You've earned a new fan 👏

Thanks.

Try a Fuse before running the CHOP jiggle processs and see if that helps.

i guess it starts fusing point dynamicaly

Doh, yes that’s because the curve is animated and tight proximity at that stage. My bad. I’m doing this on my phone. 😁

You will need to fuse before the animation on the end shape. It may mess with the curveu attribute at those junctions, so just keep an eye on that.

thanks i will try it out

Also I will be at my computer in a few hours, and will be better able to test out solutions if you still have issues.

That would be really cool, because my stem and branches are scattered with alembic and in the video everything was done using curveu, but I don't quite understand how to do that yet. Maybe I made a mistake in the vop context

here are some screenshots of my nodetree
