Fragments with collision (teapot explosion pflow)
-
Daniel 103 posts09 Oct 2008Hi! I read the useful tyson's tutorial about the teapot explosion. I have a little question
Is it difficult to improve the animation with fragments collision? Because i see that a piece of the fragment group pass through another piece! I follow the tutorial and i try to add a "recursive" collision in the pflow but without any result. Thanks! -
09 Oct 2008You could try the "keep apart" operator, but otherwise no, pflow doesn't support inter-particle collisions afaik

Daniel 103 posts11 Oct 2008Thanks man! I'll try it! Because my problem is that I wish to create a pile of box, broken parts and similar. As in this draw :
Maybe is better to use reactor? I think it's too long to reproduce the pile manually Thank! -
12 Oct 2008Ah yea that'll be tough with pflow, if you merely want your particles to pile up like that.
A trick you could do is build a hidden "pile" object (just a mesh in the form of a lump), and then have your pflow generate the hardboard particles on the surface. If you have enough of them, it'll hide the mesh lump underneath and give the illusion of a pile of particles (or in this case, boxes) -
12 Oct 2008as for reactor i think tysons reactor tutorial is awesome!
and you had to built the pile once so it makes almost no difference if you make it with particle or with reactor,
since youre going to build the pile manually. -
