Can a soft body interact with a collision object?
The top cube is a soft body and the bottom cube is a collision object. I can’t get these two objects to interact at all. I have tried adding a collision modifier to the soft body cube (in addition to the soft body modifier).
How does self collision work in Blender Stack Exchange?
“Self Collision” is for the same object to collide with itself, not other objects/simulations. Each soft body modifier acts as a separate simulation, they can’t interact. So, select all the softbody objects that will collide, then “Join” them (Ctrl+J) into one object.
How to combine two soft bodies in Blender?
Each soft body modifier acts as a separate simulation, they can’t interact. So, select all the softbody objects that will collide, then “Join” them (Ctrl+J) into one object. Now the separate parts within the same object can use “Self Collision”. (Combined objects are not much more difficult to manage, just different.
Can a cloth mesh cause a soft body collision?
Another issue can be where the Soft Body/Cloth collision ‘Inner’ setting (on the non-soft body mesh) is set too large – it ahould never exceed half the thickness of the mesh or it can have undesired consequences (drawing the soft body through from the ppposite side).
Can a soft body cube have the soft body goal?
The soft body cube also doesn’t have the soft body goal (as I am trying to get a bouncing effect where the cube bounces off of the plane). The normals of both objects are facing the right direction. I have also played a ton with the inner and outer settings of the collision object to no avail. What’re your guys’ thoughts?
How does soft body and collision work in Blender?
If the new vertex position is within one of the collision ‘zones’ (ie, the ‘Outer’ and ‘Inner’ settings on the Collision panel) then it will be repelled by the surface on the next ‘step’. If the step size is too large for a fast moving vertex to be detected then it can pass straight through a surface unnoticed.
What to do when soft body doesn’t work?
To resolve this issue you can tweak the Soft Body Solver settings – drastically increase the Min Step setting and the steps will be considerably shorter, resulting in the fast moving vertices being more frequently sampled and, hopefully, hitting the collision zones. The next problem is with flipped normals.
