I'll describe the scene. A sphere rolling across a field of grass. Camera is zoomed in close in the undergrowth. Sphere rolls towards camera knocking and bending the grass as it goes.
Originally I animated every last blade of grass (I hear a gasp) and it worked perfectly. I'm revisiting the project now as my computer can actually handle the project and not take days to render the thing off and even load the thing.
I have been playing with dynamics and soft bodys/rigid bodies. I was wondering how the best way in peoples opinion would be to sort this scene out as I like the effects that soft bodies have.
I just cant get the soft body (spline with sweep nurbs) to react to the rigid body (the sphere) - im very new to dynamics as opposed to the modelling side - so i'm probaly doing something wrong. I know it may be cheeky but if someone can come up with a way and let me see the scene they created I can go from there.
Thanks in advance
