Filling a bowl with macaroni

#1

Seems simple right, but it appears there are a couple of limitations

  1. No self collisions?

  2. Particles use bounding box center to collide with deflectors?

I know max is limited, but com’on, if this is the case then thats pretty bad lol. ideas?

running max 2009 btw.

#2

max native tools: reactor…
thats why there are plugins like physx which is free!
production plugins that cost money: Particle Flow Box#2, RayFire and TP for rigid bodies.

#3

…and the cloth and hair modifiers

#4

ok so i have a pflow event, how do i attach it to a rigid body collection? I tried using mesher but that doesn’t work.

Kind of newby at this stuff

#5

SimCloth might actually be a great idea! for RBD stuff i find it easier to handle then the cloth modifier shipping with Max.

#6

cant use plugins, need to use max out of the box. LOL

#7

have fun LOL

#8

Max ships with Cloth

May I ask why? This is akin to trying to pound in a nail with a screwdriver when there is a perfectly good hammer within hands reach. Simcloth if free :wink:

But yeah, you need soft body simulations

EDIT: ah I was thinking spaghetti not macaroni.

#9

because i work at a low end company. lol!

But if its free i will try it. And im sure ill be back in this thread to bug you guys.
