Changing Rest Geometry with FEM


Recommended Posts

I have several objects that get added into the simulation over time and I don't want to create a Solid Object node for each copy. I can add geometry via a sopsolver or using the Creation Frame parameter. 

 

The Solid Object has an animated object as its Rest Geometry and I would like to offset that animation a random amount of frames for each copy, but I have no idea how to do this. Is there a way you can access the rest geometry and change it? Preferably inside of the sopsolver where I spawn the copies. There's a restgeometrypath property in RestProperties, could it be modified differently for each object somehow?

 

Cheers,

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

 

I've the same question right now. Have you found the answer?

 

By the way, look at http://ihoudini.blogspot.com.ar/

Sam uses exactly the rest attribute to move the worm ... even if I can't makke it work on H14. I don't know if the problem is H14 or myself (probably the 2nd ... eheh)

EDIT: now it works, I con't understand why after publishing here something all works right ... :D

 

Cheers,

Marco
