Dynamics clones falling through colliders?

[Adam Trachtenberg]

You probably need to increase substeps in Project Settings.

i’m having the same problem… i’ve increased the substep but some are still falling through.

“dynamic tag on several ploys in 5 emminter coliding in a edited motext connected with dynamic tag static mesh.”

frame subset 25

4gb 2.66 i5 dual
r 12
any help would b great

it might help to use Size Increment and/or Use Margin in the Collision tab

Hi Brian

Thanks for replying i think the problem was tryin to add the rigid mesh tag to an edited Motext word which had been split and connected.

(the idea was to fill the word with dynamic objetcs through emmitters)

PART FIX: I added the rig tag to the splited motext not with the conneted, and checked staic mesh with children.
alot less particals came out but three quaters through the animation they start to spill out again.
the steps increments are really high and the playback is very slow even when i’ve bake the dynamics.

SO; i’ve simplied this this and gone for a simple cilinder to fill, which works fine But the render time are hideious 18-20min per frame

with “NO” GI,soft shadow lights, ray depth and pass 6% 2% 6% AA on 1×1 2×2, Ambitent Ouc low, low refelection on material and nearlly anthing elese i can switch off without totally comproming the overall out.

Out of one problem staight in to the next !!!

I am having a similar issue with a grid of planes and a logo flying through them to break apart the grid. I’ve even created a dummy object to use as a collider but the collider still passes through the objects when it triggers the collisions. it is good enough for my boss, but i just can’t seem to figure out why they won’t break out forwards with the momentum of the logo. its almost like when it breaks the mesh its in reverse?. I tried increasing the samples in the project and using a margin.
here is the project file

It seems as though i can’t cache the collider tags correctly either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I think the main problem is your tiles are a child of the camera (which is moving). When I pull those out and adjust a number of the settings it seems to be ok.

That was it. I grouped the camera and the cloner with a null instead and it behaved correctly. i Guess i should never use the camera as a parent. Thanks so much
