cheese for pasta monster

[sipi]

I'm working on a pasta monster as a personal project.

How would you create sticky, stretchy, melted cheese on this:

Vellum fluids should do this trick

Yeah, vellum is the key here.

I'm testing several vellum options.

If anyone is interested, I will post the hip here once it's ready...

 

Flip based sauce (not quite right at some places)

 

vellum hair based cheese

 

another vellum hair starting point

 

here the sauce simply comes from the shader

Using glue constraints and meshing the constraint geometry is perfect for melted cheese!

I'm on the way to create cheese onto the pasta monster.

Can someone tell me:

1. is it possible to break vellum hair in a way that it doesn't produce those tiny fragments?

2. how to handle if the collision goes through a pinned point, because as you can see there is this long red line?

Ok, it's done.

Have fun with the hip! (made in 20.5.550)

NOTE: you'll need qLib and LABS, because the setup uses the Noise ql SOP in some places, and the Boolean Curve LABS SOP at one place.

 

 

Worth to mention, the setup uses these techniques from Konstantin Magnus:
