spinning particles/points/rbds

I made a previous post about spinning particles with "w" and Pop Torque.... Walter uses this & it seems much simpler (?). In your DOP network, create a Pop Spin node & in the VEXpression space type:

spinspeed = 100*(fit01(rand(@id),chf("min"),chf("max")));
axis = sample_direction_uniform(rand(@id));


Spinspeed is measured in degrees per second
Axis specifies the axis of each point you're spinning. The sample_direction_uniform() function returns a normalised vector. So here, we have a completely randomised rotation axis. Not bad.
