Good day.

By default you can "CTRL + LMB" on the "Brain" icon and it will reset all simulations. But I can't find a way to achieve this result via keyboard hotkey. The keyboard hotkey would be much more convenient than aiming every time on the Brain icon.

There is the "Reset simulations" action in the Hotkey Manager but it doesn't do the same as "CTRL + LMB on the Brain icon". (by the way I wasn't be able to find out what this action is doing really)

Thank you.

I rebuilt the scene using your car geometry and the points you generated from the tire. I took the shelf tool approach instead of placing everything in one node. You can use the Y Variance on the PopSource to cause the particles to kick up a little higher. Adjust particle life to determine the length of the trail.

Check out this thread on OdForum. You can also search there for more tire based efffects. You may have to become a user to download the example files.

Here you go.

You could either apply you v in SOPs and bring into DOPs or you could apply different POP forces to get what you want for example POPAxisforce.

Is something like this what you are looking for?

No worries! Most relatively new users aren't brave enough to jump right into using Attribute Wrangle, though it is pretty handy.

One quick way to do an explosion outwards is to drop down an ExplodedView right after your fracture. Then you can just animate the amount to cause the pieces to move outward, no simulation needed.

Asking for an energy ball is kind of like going to a restaurant and asking for food. Give me food.

You may want to do a search using the term “shockwave”. There are a few examples on exploding centers that then emit outwards.

You can use an AttributeFromMap node to transfer the color from the image to a grid of points. Follow that up with a Delete that keeps only white points. Then you will have a set of points that match your map and can be used for particle emission.

Could you post a HIP file?

It may be as simple as changing something like:

i@number = @ptnum+1;

to something like:

i@number = 12-@ptnum;
