Debris particles instancing

[xpc]

Hello,

I just set up a basic dynamic simulation using dops and pops.

I would like to instance random objects (from a voronoi fracture) to the particles and set up a random rotation based on the velocities of the particles ( if a particle doesn't move, the rotation is stopped ).

I used to do that in Maya but I would like to know how to do that inside Houdini.

Any help will be much appreciated !

Thanks,

Xavier

That is very useful, thank you very much Benyee.

But the rotation doesn't seems to stop when the particles' velocity is zero.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

There is a shelf tool for this:

Hi there,maybe this is one of solutions.You can improve it if you'd like.
