Hi!
I have a setup where I want to have a stream of rocks flowing through a pipe. I used $F in jitter seed parameter of a points from volume node so I get between 0 and 5 points on each frame. Then into popnet and copy to points to have rocks birthing randomly. That all works fine, but when I put into RBD bullet solver so the rocks can collide with the pipe, I don't see any rocks at all.
This setup worked great (including the RBD solver) when I had a set number of rocks birthed only on the 1st frame. They went through the pipe just fine.
What am I doing wrong here? Hipnc file attached.
thanks,
Dan

Hi Tomas!
Thanks so much! That is super helpful. It works now, yay!
I am wondering one other thing. I used a clip node at the end of the pipe to get rid of the rocks flying around after they leave the pipe, but at frame 233 there's a random rock that seems to come out of nowhere past where the clip point is. Is there a more elegant way to get rid of points after they exit the tube?

thanks,
Dan
