Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 15, 2019 Hash Fellow Share Posted January 15, 2019 It's been sitting there for a year now but I've never tried Bullet Soft Body Dynamics. It works very well! Here is the PRJ if you want to try. RubberDonuts05 unsimmed.prj in the Chor and Choose simulate Bullet DonutDropAO1500.mp4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 15, 2019 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted January 15, 2019 It's a bit like cloth in that denser meshes can be floppier. Sometimes slightly different settings can get very different results, so you have to experiment. So far, I haven't detected that "Bounce" changes much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted January 15, 2019 Admin Share Posted January 15, 2019 This isn't 'soft' bullet but thought I'd post it here as it started as a soft but then I adapted it to solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildsided Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Nice one Rodney. Although to come apart like that they have to be the most cheaply made pair of spectacles ever. Shoulda gone to Specsavers. Side note, I wonder if we could make a flowing hair simulation out of the soft body sim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 19, 2019 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted January 19, 2019 I'll note that turning on "Volume Preservation" in the Bullet Soft Body constraint generally makes things look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve392 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I saved as AVI but that was a large file so I used AVG video editor to change it thinking I had it set for mpg 4 a nice small file have no idea what 3gp is lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelplucker Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Does bullet dynamics work with blob generator? Wonder if you could simulate liquids with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if you could simulate liquids with it. I don't think Bullet element have the ability to merge and separate like fluids and blobs do. they are more like Jell-o than liquid.

ruscular Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I am very please on how fast it simulate and results were good with the example project file posted. Can you assign the bullet to a weight map or set of points that you want to be effected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know either way, I had only just gotten Newton dynamics figured out then... POOF... out with Newton in with Bullet! I don't know enough about Bullet to know if the parameters are behaving like they should or if a bug report is due for something. I'm hoping someone will investigate Bullet more thoroughly than I have had a chance to do and report to us. Maybe that person can be you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruscular Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 This is bullet from lightwave3d for a breast bounce setting using a weight map as deforming parts effected. I played with several setting and reset dynamic simulation each time getting very little differences of the bounce. I hope the next version of AM: will include more settings that can adjust volume preservation and shape retention. those 2 dials really effect the outcome of the simulation. Also the shape lock settings keeps the simulation lock to the nearest edge of the effected parts. Mind you that these setting in lightwave are a tad touchy as for stability. I can understand why AM: didn't include them, as for the simulation in here is fast and hasn't crash. I didn't find a way to assign the bounce to parts of the model. I did love the way AM: rigging system can add a spring to the skeleton and has enough settings to alter the spring and even add smart bone to the spring bone. It is my hope to rig a female character in AM: with spring bone and then export it to lightwave and use deforming parts bullet effect to the area that I want effected.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 8, 2019 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted April 8, 2019 Here is a test (v19i) showing different bounce stiffness settings. My guess is that Soft Body settings are model-wide only in A:M L to R: 0.05... 0.01... 0.005 PRJ: RubberDonuts05b Three Bounces.prj (To simulate, choose the Chor>RMB>Simulate Bullet) DiffBounces.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruscular Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I didn't know I could go lower than .01 in the settings. It looks so much better like jello at .01 and the collision is really accurate and stable. Next step is get them to release a new version with parts deforming with Bullet!

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted April 9, 2019 Ruscular, what does it mean on your screen capture where is says the "Volume conservation" is 110%. I'm wondering how it could conserve volume any more than 100% which would already be completely conserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruscular Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I was trying to inflate it I dont know if it did that, but it didn't hurt! LOL I should try for 200% and see what happens. It was my Spinal Tap moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
