The YouTube video description practically tells you how to do it: Soft Body and Rigid Body dynamics.

Bit of an amateur with dynamics but I'm pretty sure that rigid body won't produce this.
Can anyone give a few pointers?

Thanks.

hence why he also mentioned soft body. More specifically softbody on a spline.

As Nav mentioned, it is written on the video description that it's done with rigidbodies (bowl, glass, and fork) and softbodies (noodles).

You should play around with the Dynamics Tags first (if you have C4D Studio) to see how they behave. Unfortunately right now doing softbody sims for something like that will take a long time to calculate and set up, so you might have to make do with Spline Dynamics (again requires Studio).

Thanks for that. Apologies for my ignorance in these matters, I'll take your advice and have a little play with the dynamics tags. I posted here because as usual I have a ridiculous deadline without the luxury of spare time to explore but sometimes that what's required.

Cheers.

I've made a test scene that might give a headstart.
It's based on SoftBody Dynamics on a linear Cloner
using small spheres.
Then using a Tracer to get the noodle splines.
The Tracer is then PLA animated (plaMATEv2 from my sign)
to get a speedy response and for using SweepNurbing.


Animation Test
R14 Studio Scene

Cheers

Can't thank you enough Lennart. Brilliant.

Lennart,
Could you say a bit more about how you got the linear cloner with spheres to act as a soft body? Looking at your file, I do not see how you got the string s of spheres to behave like that. When I un-hide CloneNoodles, I do not see any movement...

Thanks.

EDIT:
OK, I now see you had globally switched off dynamics in the project prefs.
I see it now.

Phytools does it:

Is Phytools compatible with R14?

Hi Jeremy,
would it be possible to get the file for this. It would help to compre the two.
Thanks,

Justin.

In order for it to work, you must first bake the dyn tag, then bake the tracer with PLAmate.
