Super simple space colonization setup

I created this for a guy on Twitter yesterday, one of those 5 minute setups I do just to demo a concept - it's often less hassle than trying to explain how to do it - but thought I'd post it here j...

So this was never meant to be posted as a scene file, I just wanted to demo that POP grain based cloth worked on animated meshes as well, but as I promised it on Facebook, I'm making this available...

Dancing stick figure...

So I've had this idea for a while, take one of the mocap meshes, delete all points but those you need for a stick figure, add a polywire and some spheres... Boom. Now I wish I hadn't because this i...
