    i have a cloner object and its animated by a shader effector (a simple animation of movement in a single axis – by a noise shader) everything is how its expected but the cloner elements are inter penetrating which i want to avoid. and keep the original animation to continue.

    i was trying with dynamics, with no gravity in the scene setting. it throws off the elements from the original animation.

    thanks in advance

    okay the “follow position” on the dynamic tag’s force tab seems to be doing the job to some extent, but not 100%….after like 200 frames things start to get wonky again. but seems this is one way to go about it.

    https://www.tools4d.com/?page_id=2143 the Fit effector of this plugin set might be be another way but you’d have to be happy with the size changes it does to keep the particles from colliding
