Hello

I'm trying to create an animation for an audience taking sit on a theather. They look like bowling pins, and they fill the theather like clay or other liquid like material. Its a 4 second scene.
I tried to test with lots of nCloth instances of the pins at first. But the pins are falling face to the ground, and there arent acting muddy-like.
I tried intance the pin object to particles. This way its orientation is always correct. In other hand I cant apply nCloth to particles, and the particles arent colliding with theirselves.

Is there any other idea to solve this scene, please?
Thanks in advance,

Anderson

Have you tried using blobby particles? You could emit from surface with a zero velocity until you have you bowling pins, set as initial state then apply your gravity and collisions. Probably need tens of thousands of particles.
