Can forces like Friction, Gravity affect Mograph objects ?
Hi,
I have made a cloner object like a Cube using Grid mode and I am using Random Effector to spill out parts/ cubes . I am also using a Step Effector. Now I want to apply Gravity. but the effect is not happening. Is it at all possible to ad Gravity to a Mograph object ? I want to create something like this..

I’m a noob, so I could be totally off, but I think it has something to do with adding a solver object to the mix, then your gravity should work.

thats a new feature introduced in 11.5, if your working with an earlier version than that then you cant. otherwise yes.

Right, if you have 11.5 then you should see a mograph rigid body tag in the mograph tag menu. Assign that to your cloner and then go to to the tag’s forces tab.

Thanks guys ! Will try it out now !

Hi Adam
i made the mograph into rigid body, but its affecting the whole cube. is there a way i can only affect or control a section of the cubes, like the smaller cubes that i am applying the random effector to ?
like this…

No, unfortunately it’s an all or nothing proposition.

I wouldnt use gravity for that…
A spline effector with a cube or planar shaped falloff would get it done really easily.set up your clone/grid of cubes in one place and a spline (circle line whatever) where you think your cubes are headed
Add a spline effector, (with falloff) and place it half way through your grid of clones.
