Re: Syflex simulation for making paper with ICE forces

2015-02-16 Thread Pierre Schiller
This morning I woke up with the idea to create 2 or 3 models with baked syflex simulation. Then use that as particle instances on the point cloud (to make them flock). Problem with that is that not all the time the papers will face "forward" and some of them will flock downwards, then the baked sim

I dunno, I thought 'falling' leaves 'flew' more than they 'fell',  but could elaborate more on your setup? If I got you correctly,  your'e emitting little grid instances, with the particles themselves reacting to a wind force, and other things makin

Jason, they don´t have to "fall", they "fly along (flocking)". The flocking part is done. The settings for syflex is done. But I don´t know how to tie up the air resistance (and thus the syflex woorling against the wind) for each individual "paper" grid on the cloud. I need help with how to tie syf

Did you also check-out the "Falling Leaves" compound? http://softimage.wiki.softimage.com/xsidocs/iceref_Falling_Leaves.htm Would that play well with syflex? On 02/15/15 15:14, Alan Fregtman wrote: What are you trying to simula

Good day everyone. I´m setting up a particle emmiter, emmiting rectangles (at the moment). The general idea is the emmiter produces "paper" (grids with 8x8 subdivs). So I setup a simple syflex (damping, stiffness, etc) on a model and used it as instance on the emmiter. But what should happen, is t
