Hi, i wanna make a simulation of softbodies falling. I have some low poly meshes inside a cloner. How do i replace em after the fact with the high poly ones? I dont know how to apply the mesh deformer in such situation. Any thoughts? thanks

Hi thanulee,

Interesting question and I had no clue a few minutes ago if this could work at all.

So, here we go:

Set up your low res Cloner, and use this as Mode>Object> Axis for the High Res Cloner. The Cages (low res) should cover each of the high res clones.
Make the High Res editable and Connect-Delete (Sphere 0.1)
Then follow the scene file, top to bottom, as usual, follow the information flow.

Please test this, as I haven’t used it, as mentioned, at all so far.

Let me know if there is something else, then please with a scene file (!), I’m happy to look into it.

Cheers

Is it possible to do this if the low res objects are being emitted?

Hi mail,

The low res objects are the cages for the effect, so the full res object can be deformed quickly. But they do not need to be rendered. Set the Connect Object to “not visible” [red dots].

Let me know if I miss something.

All the best
