I received a tech support question asking if it was possible to automatically control the focus of a camera using Ricochet. I thought it was a great idea and decided to make a quick video demonstrating how it can be done without even using Xpresso. I'll show you a simple rig that utilizes Ricochet, an Align To Spline tag, and a Spring Constraint tag to achieve a smooth transition for the autofocus.
Ricochet is a powerful tool that can generate splines that bounce off surfaces like a laser, allowing you to fill the volume of your model with hundreds of thousands of bounces, wrap around your objects, or detect collisions from any distance. Ricochet precalculates its entire path, so there is no need to guess where it will end up or wait for the timeline to play every frame. It's like a particle system without the particles.
With Ricochet, you can open up new design spaces, such as filling volumes of any model with splines, deflecting splines, creating complex webbing with ease, generating FUI effects, simulating plant growth, and more.
You can also use Ricochet splines to generate sweeps, create Mesh Volumes, render with Hair, Sketch & Toon, or 3rd party renders. The possibilities are endless!
