hopbin9 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Hi all, I'm trying to figure out how this animation was -> If Andrey is on this forum, I'm hoping he'll be kind enough to post a simple explanation. My first thought, is a fluid simulation with the sphere's stamped to the particle positions, but there are parts in the animation where the spheres appear to be rolling as they tough each other and the spheres are different sizes. I'm really stumped. I want to do something similar to this, but instead of spheres I want to use cylinders. Any one have some ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any one have some ideas? you can do this easly with cinema 4D moggraph ,i think this is C4D:-) cheers cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdg Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I'm really stumped. I want to do something similar to this, but instead of spheres I want to use cylinders. Cylinders might turn out to be much more complicated, as collision's of spheres are pretty easy and cheap to compute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldleaf Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Basically, think POPs, but with rbd-like collision detection. That's what C4D's mograph has now that bullet is written into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopbin9 Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Oh, I think you guys are right. I googled for mograph and found other videos of the same style. I'd want to see if this can be done in Houdini. Going to give it a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smaugthewyrm Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 see this link. it is cherries, but basically the same. step by step tutorial. http://greyscalegorilla.com/blog/2010/06/how-to-make-the-cherry-7up-look-with-cinema-4d/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopbin9 Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 see this link. it is cherries, but basically the same. step by step tutorial. http://greyscalegori...with-cinema-4d/ Thanks! That will help a lot. I haven't used particles as POP yet in Houdini. Any tutorials on that subject? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopbin9 Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 (edited) He makes it look so easy. I got it work in no time now. Houdini rocks Edited November 5, 2010 by hopbin9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
