Hi all,

I’ve got a building setup going where most of the building is cloned to repeat the floors in a pentagonal shape and then cloned again to make it 10 stories high.  I want to explode the building now, but when I apply dynamics to the base shapes, the clones repeat the base shape’s dynamics instead of all acting independently.  Is there a setting I’m missing somewhere that will allow all of the cloned objects to act dynamically independent of each other? 

Thanks for any help.

Nevermind.  I had instances turned on in my cloner.  Shut it off and now its working.

Thanks for the fast reply to your own question, FinsihVFX.

I was just rebuilding the scene. Typically it is the Attribute Manager>Collision>Individual Elements>All that makes it work. But as things might change, I test normally everything in the current version, before I write.

All the best

Just a little tip how to set up the scene 5*10 (ten stories in pentagonal shape) and use the Render Instances, as that might be a render saving time.

The idea is here to use a “Primitive” but sometimes a set up can be transferred into single polygons (proxy clones so to say) and these “connect” to a new object, which allows to stand as a matrix for the distribution.

Perhaps worth a try if the scene becomes really large.

I hope both files allow for a relatively flexible creation of a set up.
