  1. Hello fellow magicians, I've struggled alot with RBDs in the past. Along the way, while doing various projects I spent countless hours researching and debugging and I realised that most of the information is scattered all around... and this is not ideal. So I thought it would be a good thing to have a "main" post where more experienced artists and TDs could share a bit of their experience and .hip files with the rest of the community. There are many instances where this happens here on odforce, for example the thread on small scale flip fluids or the thread on getting rid of mushrooms in pyro. Since I'm starting this, It's only fair that I share a little .hip file myself. With this exercise I'm creating the tipical situation where the Bullet Solver can't stop the wood shapes from jittering and spinning and the simulation doesn't come to a rest. So I added popwrangles and a popspeedlimit to solve the problem. I'm aware that there might be more optimized ways of doing this, maybe with a POP awaken node? Nonetheless, this is my approach to solving the issue. As a bonus trick, I added a way to awaken the inactive pieces only near the desired collider. Here is a very good article on tips and tricks for bullet simulations in case you wanna have a look: https://80.lv/articles/destruction-simulation-tips-and-tricks/ Cheers, Diogo Ferreira rbds_stop_jitter.hipnc
  2. I want to give the edges of some text a slightly "worn" look - like it's typed on old parchment paper. I'm attaching a Point Jitter node to a Font node, and it looks quite good and close to what I want. But I'd like to give the jitter subtle variations so it doesn't look so uniform across the letters. Selecting "Use PScale" on the Point Jitter node doesn't seem to do anything and the documentation for Point Jitter isn't helping me. Do I need to attach a point wrangle node somewhere?
  3. Hi everyone. I have a scene make destruction, everything good if I scale scene 5-10 times, but If I use real scale. The pieces jitter at the end. I tried all my best in 1 week, check connect adjent pieces or Constraint networks. But can't find any wierd setup. Please anyone help me guide how to fix. Thanks so much!! This problem: you guys can see the wood jitter crazy.. My mind thinking about cone cst got problem, or collision between wood pieces have something bad.
  4. Hi everyone, I'm trying to retime a flip sim, but the retime node is creating a jittering when interpolating frames. Would this have anything to do with particle ids or num of particles changing between frames? and this is mucking up the interpolation? Thanks in advance, David RetimeJitter.hiplc
  5. Hey magicians, I got a flip of a hand going underwater, but the whitewater is exploding/jittering in some parts, anybody knows what can be causing this? Also what will be the best way to mesh this? right now i made a group to delete the borders of the containers, is this correct? Thanks!
  6. Hello guys, i have a serious mesh flickering problem in my flip simulation. The timescale in the flip solver has been animated to slow down the simulation. Looking at the particles everything seems fine, but when it comes to meshing and the particles are moving really slow, the mesh starts to flicker and holes are forming and disappearing every frame. I've tried increasing the resolution, lowering the particle separation in the particle fluid surface node (or vdb from particle fluid, i've tried that as well), lowering the grid scale or the particle radius scale, the flickering changes but it never goes away. any help is greatly appreciated thanks in advance slowmoving_flip_flicker.hip
  7. Helloo, I'm working on some small splashes etc. For a project. And I'm at a point where eradicating mesh jitter is near impossible at the scale/amount of particles I'm using. The splashes are small and need a more chunky look, so I cant just up the resolution particles wise and hope that it meshes better as this completely changes the look. (The look I'm after isn't super high res realistic splashes at all as this is for a texture going into games) Ive tried meshing manually via VBD from particles instead of the default particle fluid surface - VDB from particle fluids - in combination with other vdb operations. Ive also tried point replicating so each point I have is 5 rather than one in the hope it reduces the likelihood of jitter and particles are closer together and theirs a higer count. Ive also tried upto 3 substeps in the base sim in the hope it maybe has more particles between one another. It seems almost silly when I've had the simulation as I've wanted very quickly but cannot get a small splash mesh without jitter. (Even tried motion blur to ease the effect but needs to be very strong to work and then smears the render more than getting rid of jitter) Any tips or ideas on the matter would be great (if I happen to solve it in the meantime ill post a file or at least a good description of how I got their eventually) - I have a feeling it may come down to trying every value possible in the particle fluid surface node or even animating certain parameters in their
  8. Hi Guys, I want to scatter some points on a growing and deforming vdb mesh. These points shouldn't jitter on the surface and look like they are moving along with the surface. I have attached a basic file similar to my actual setup. Basically, I am going to render these particles as bubbles on top of the mesh and I want it to be quite dense. I haven't been able to figure this out and couldn't find much help online. It would be great if you guys can check it out and help with a response. Thanks vdb mesh vdbscatter_v01.hipnc
  9. Hey all: I have a particle simulation with particles shooting outward from the origin. I am using the particle replicate to emit particles from particles. Here is the problem, I want the particles close together at the top but further away toward the bottom like the photos shown below. My Idea was to do a point jitter based of the age of the particle, so that new particles will have no jitter while old particles will have jitter. Would it be possible to accomplish that using vex in an attribute wrangle? Or could it been done in a point VOP with a slider to adjust jitter by age? Or is there a better way to have the older particles move out further outward? than using point jitter? explosion001.hipnc
  10. Hello everybody... I am working on a project and stuck on one point. Need a help so bad! lol In the hip file what i tried to do: Created a almost torus shape and and needed little bevel on the edges bla bla bla... In pointvop1 i am giving jitter animation to primitives and taking the animation from the sphere1's transforms. Through the animation, prmitives jittering/animating from object and they coming back to 0 poisition when sphere get far from the object. After that, in attribwrangle3 i am deleting primitives and using only points of primitive's center points. Ok here what i try to do! In attribvop6 i triend to use few attributes and the thing i need is. When points are far from the object i need to give them noise or turbulans or something that gives them motion and when pyramid shaped get close to zero position and create and object i need them not moving and just sit the 0 poition. In sum what i tried is they should rotate while they are going to 0 poisition and when they get close they should stop and just sit and stay. If you turn normal1's display flag you can see that they are not in real order. there are gaps and normals are not correct... I really stick in this part and cant move more. If any help would be amazing life saver lol Thank you for help! Lens_polygon_test.hip
  11. I've been trying to write an expression which will hold a value and change every specified number of frames. I have a point jitter, and an animated seed so the point will change position every timestep, my goal is to have an expression where the the point will stay in the same position for 8 frames and then change position, and remain in that position for another 8 frames and so on. I've attached a very basic scene file if its any easier for you to use that, any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks! PointJitter.hip
  12. Hey everybody, I've looked all over odforce but nobody seems to be having this problem. I attached a video to show my problem but the title should be very self explanatory. https://www.dropbox.com/s/npwjl49t3p908pv/meshjitter.mov the mesh seems to be very noisy, jittery, and I was wondering if anybody knows how to solve it. The way I'm building it is VDB from particle fluid > VDb smooth sdf > VDB reshape > convert VDB. I've also tried getting rid of the smooth and reshape with no better results. The particle count is pretty high so that doesnt seem to be a problem.
