Hi, I wonder if it is possible to trigger an animation on an event.

Let's say I have a sphere, I simulate it falling on the ground just using a Dopnet and a ground plane as a static object.

And let's say I want to play an animation each time the sphere touch the ground, like waves on some water.

How can I do it ?

I've heard of RBD Impact Analysis, but I can't find how to use the generated points for something like it ?

Can someone help me ?

And can I have an example file ?

I link an example of wave that I want to trigger when the sphere touch the ground

Up, no one has a clue on how to do it ?

It might be useful but I can't figure how to link this to a trigger from a CHOP..

Here is a solution. I first did it with CHOPs but it was way too complicated and still wouldn't work. This method uses a SOP solver and time offsets.

Be sure to re-cache the filecache node in "Wave_to_trigger" for this to work.

Also, had to switch to poly object for the dop impacts to work.

Oh that's fantastic and I'm sure will be really useful to know how to do
