Money Challenge For You.

good challenge. clothilde doesn't really work as there is no seed for turbulence, thus all copies or particles of a note follow the same path. You could write an xpression which randomly modifies the wind force and turbulence values of a stack of duplicates (stacked in the same position pre-empting exhaust) without changing the driving wind direction force too much. The deviations created by this should be enough to create lots of variation when they encounter the car collision proxy.

That sounds pretty good. I think i'll have a go at it.

Do you think that this would take years to simulate because of the clothilde calculations?

[Rantin Al]

The mighty Fizz might be the way to go as it has Particle>Particle & Particle>Polygon collision detection.
Maybe adding a bit of elasticity to the attraction and repulsion fields to get the turbulence.

Cheers, Al.

Yup i've tried Fizz. The problem isn't getting the particles to react to turbulence and the car's surface its with the actually dynamics/soft body simulation of each bill.

Particles use instances of the particle object. These are not actual geometry so each duplication of a soft body bill will not simulate through dynamics.

I've also tried this with bones and soft ik, yet got the same result.

Wow it seems that i got it to work. :bounce:

If one uses clothilde with dynamics it works fine. Although there is a tedious bit of work setting up each bill.

You have to attach a clothilde plane to a rigid body dynamic object, then run the simulation.

Although i can't get my rigid body object to rotate when coliding with other rigid bodies.

Can anyone help with that?

Just set a lower rotational mass for them (mass tab in the RBD tag) try 5 - 25% and see if that doesn't make them more prone to some fun rotations.

[danb]

Yeah that worked great.

Now if there a way to generate hundreds of these little bills with the dynamic tags already attached.

Would the Instance Maker node (by base80 and MAJOUL) help you at all? It's available in Darter's Wavemaker expression in another thread.

Any chance we could see your results so far?
