Hi,

I am trying to create this peeling effect and for that i m using the spring sop. What i have done is connect the spring sop to a copy sop , that copies the springy peeling animation over a grid.

I want the various copied pieces on the grid to be animated randomly. For this i tried using stamp inputs, by specifying a variable and a corresponding random value expression.

However this doesnt seem to work as the pieces all peel at the same time which is not how i want it.

Please any help is more than welcome.

I ve attached the hip file for a look around.

As the Spring SOP is a simulation like POPs, you can't stamp it. What you can do is to create different simulations, write them out to disk, read them back in and stamp using a Switch SOP.

To create more variations of your simulations after writing them out, you can look into using Blendshapes or Sequence Blend SOPs. If you want to venture further, look into the Time Blend/Warp/Shift SOPs as well.

Good luck!

Cheers!

Thank you so much…
