Popular Post KarlRichter Posted December 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2020 Not long ago I was tasked with a simulation of bags of hard candy falling and splitting open on the floor, with the candy of various shapes and sizes spilling out. This turned out to be way harder then I thought. There is really no built in way for vellum and bullet dynamics to interact with each other in Houdini. After searching the internet, I did find one tutorial on kind of faking the interaction, but it seemed overly complicated to me. So after a bit of R&D I came up with this setup. Its very simple and fast, and solves both the vellum and bullet sims in one network at the same time: It basically works by importing the RBD geo into the vellum collision solver, and the vellum geo into the bullet solver. The mass of the RBD has to be faked in somewhat, so it interacts with the cloth in a more realistic way, but that's it! See hip for example: vellum_x_bullet.hip 18 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atom Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 While it's not super critical, it does seem like the collision version of the objects lag behind the actual location of the RBD objects in the simulation. I tried adding a time shift $F-1 and $F+1, but that didn't seem to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlRichter Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) Yeah, I noticed that as well. I think (guess?) it is an effect of how the DOPS black box processes sims. I messed around with the order of inputs, but either the cloth or the RBD would be a frame out of sync. It seemed to work better solving the RBD stuff after the cloth, so I left it at that. But in the end, if you grab the output of both objects at once from the DOP node, everything seems to line up with no interpenetrations. (if you check the object merge tab of the DOP node, the vellum object and bullet object are what's being exported).

zero5zc Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) @Noobini Hello ! I`m trying to get the interaction between RBDfracturedobject and vellum， but the RBD pulls the cloth down, and they`re keep falling. How can fix this?

Yader Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Take a look at the shapematch constraint. It's suitable for rigid bodies. That way you don't have to leave vellum.
