  • Making objects and floor hard

    Posted by Jatin Makwana on July 12, 2008 at 9:46 pm

    hi all,

    i want to make a few objects hard (so they can’t go through each other). All the objects are normally animated (Not particles).
    Also i require the floor to be un-penetrate able

    is their an easy way to do this?

    thanks in advance.

    What you’re describing requires physics simulation. To do this you can use the dynamics module, or buy a plugin like Phytools. Otherwise you can use the dynamics simulation capabilities of Thinking Particles, and/or Xpresso, with or without TP, depending on how good you are with Xpresso. Or, you can keyframe manually. How complex things are depends on how many objects are in your scene.

    reacting with a floor is not simple.
    But to prevent things from going through it i tend to use constraint tags…but as Steven stated above there is no easy way to get “nice” dynamics.
