Hi all

I am doing this tut https://vimeo.com/185820853 [vimeo.com] I'm at 1:01:13 in the video. In the tutorial the assemble node shows 12 Packed fragments when displaying the info of the node via middle mouse clicking the node. As you can see in the picture provided mine is blank. This seems to be an issue because when i run the sim the mesh doesn't break apart. Any help would be appreciated.

Ok so I've created the same setup in Houdini 15.5 and in there I can see the Fragments info as expected. However the mesh still does not break apart when impacting the ground. I'm wondering if they are just 2 different issues. Here is the 15.5 setup. Thanks!

“Packed Fragments” unfortunately wordwrapped in that UI. You have 11 ‘Packed’s.

That first example file has an RBD Object node importing the packed fragments, so it is bringing it as a single object. You want to import it to DOPs with the second node, the RBD Packed node, that will split it into an object per piece.

Disable the RBD Object node (with the rubber ducky), and set the other node's path to ../../OUT to match what the rbd object has. Then move it up in translation so it is out of the ground plane. It should then break.

You should be using the RBD packed object instead.

Perfect! Thanks!
