Vellum Balloons Attached To Strings & Popping

[JAMES2503]

Hi y'all,

I wanted some advice on vellum balloons being attached to a string then popping (see reference below).

So I can do the whole pressure thing and attach it to a string etc, but I wondered how to make the balloons automatically float upwards without just reversing the gravity.

I don't want to just use a force to push them upwards, as it would look odd when they pop and don't fall to the floor.

Any advice or example files would really be appreciated!

Thanks,
James

introduce the upward force (stronger than gravity) only for points that are part of closed balloon 

then they will automatically fall down as soon as it's broken

if you posted the file with everything set up just reversed gravity as you mentioned, you could have already modified working scene file back, most people usually don't have time to constantly build example files from scratch even though it's common too

It would be great if this actual H17 .hip file was shared. Great looking Effect.
