Intersecting particles
-
threebrothers 7 posts07 Dec 2007Hi. Hope this hasn't been posted before, but I've done a search and can't find a solution.
I am new to 3ds Max, and wanted to use a particle system to simulate paper money fluttering down onto a table top.
I got Particle flow to do a basic animation, using a UDeflector to stop them when they hit the table. But I cant stop the particles from intersecting each other. I want the notes to stack up on top of each other as they land on the table, but they move through each other.
I played around with using interparticle collision in the Blizzard system, but still no luck.
Does anyone know the solution?
Thanks for any help

08 Dec 2007No way to do that with pflow really, unless you want to get into some REALLY heavy scripting.
Your best bet would be to use reactor, and a wind helper to make them flutter

threebrothers 7 posts08 Dec 2007Thanks for letting me know.
I havent a clue how to use reactor though. Back to the manual I guess.... -
08 Dec 2007Yea sorry mate....but pflow is not good for complex deflection. Especially if you need to stack things :/
-
threebrothers 7 posts08 Dec 2007Was looking at your website (really awesome work). Do you think the cannon tutorial you did would help me with regards to reactor?
Thanks -
08 Dec 2007Hmm it might! It covers rigid bodies and cloth, and I'm assuming for money you'll want to use rigid bodies...so it should apply.

11 Dec 2007cloth could be usefull to but it could need bit "too much" finetuning
