deleting rbd objects by age

[Alex Whyte]

Hello there!

 

I am trying to move from 3dsmax to houdini but finding it very confusing...I have a question regarding rbd dynamic objects. I essentially want to delete them from the simulation once they reach a certain age? 

 

I am imagining I have to GIVE them age I just can't figure out how. I tried a SOPsolver with a multisolver and a rigidbodysolver but it's not working, would that be the right approach?

 

...oh and I am creating the RBDobjects with a RBDpoint object at every frame.

 

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello Alex, 

 

if you check John's file in this topic: http://forums.odforce.net/topic/20462-duplicating-rbd-objects-in-sop-solver/  you will see that he kills the rbd objects by using an expression as:

 

if(@killme == 1){

    removeprim(0, @primnum, 1);

}
