Jason Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Hi all, I did this about 4-5 months ago with Houdini's RBD Solver in DOPs while it was still in alpha development. I'm not sure who has seen this out there already, but here is a link for the general odforcians. 25,000 peanuts falling on a paddlewheel It simulated in 1-3 minutes a frame back then. I have no idea how fast it'd sim now after the Solver has been through some revisions - I hope faster Anyhow, it's fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafal123 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 hmmm....nothing special, these are all RBDs or instances? could you tell somethin about hardware which can push so many peanuts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just messing about with trying to see what the limits of the system would be. I never reached the limit with this at all - there wasn't a big slowdown between 10k and 25k peanuts and I didn't go further. This was simulated on a 2 Ghz machine on Linux.

MADjestic Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 [one' date=Nov 22 2006, 07:01 AM' post='32180]seems like the link is broken.. anyone have it handy and shareable? i must had missed it... thanks in advance. Sorry, looks like I haven't saved it - anyway what it has in the movie (as far as I remember) is a cross-shaped paddle wheel with LOTZzz of peanuts objects falling on it, turning the wheel and jumping all about. Houdini help has a similar example, with balls falling onto the cross shaped wheel - though the performance and the set up is not that impressive - I could get a bearable speed with balls amount of like ~3K. Anyway maybe changing the set up can optimize the process. lfhcbb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symek Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I got it! But it's 10MB. I don't have currently place to expose it. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just old thats all - this was run in very early beta of the RBD Solver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
