CliveLlewellyn Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Hey Guys, I am trying to get POPs to emit a finite element. I have a simple setup where I am birthing a particle every 50 frames and having this fed into DOPs where the finite element solver takes over. The problem is I cant seem to source more then 1 instance of the object into Dops. I have attached a scene file I hope someone can help.

anthonymcgrath Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 have a search for a recent thread by @ParticleSkull he's been doing a very similar thing spawning instances of a fem object - i dont think it relies on pops setup tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParticleSkull Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hey Clive, it's here, check it out. The solution don't use the pop solver but I believe it would totally work for you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveLlewellyn Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Hey Guys, Thanks for this I will take a look. I did end up finding a solution to my problem but without the need for POPs. I ended up using a single expression with a modulo function within the creation frame parameter to source my object on specific frames. Here is the the expression I used, if anyone is interested. if($F%20==0,$F,-1) This worked pretty nicely but I am still interested in using POPs as an emitter source to birth the instanced FEM object. I am going to explore this further when I have the time. If I figure this out I will post a Hip file here. Thanks, Clive Edited June 13, 2017 by CliveLlewellyn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParticleSkull Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Cool! Yeah, we did something similar at the creation frame parameter as well. Let me know if you achieve something with pop. Cheers, Alvaro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
