Hi all,

I'm pretty much a beginner in Houdini and for a project I want to make an organic inflation. Now it's going to the right direction, but there is one thing I need help with. As you can see in the video the “balloons” are tumbling over to the sides. I want them to stay right up (with just a little tumbling) and then inflate. I tried various stiffness settings in the vellum constraints but those wont seem to work. What do I miss? I hope someone can help me. Thank in advance

If you are using H18 try increasing the substeps on the solver. Less than H18 try increasing the constrain iterations (go crazy like 900 or more)
