ROP Alembic Output Nodes gives a lot of warnings Feb. 21, 2019, 1:33 p.m.

Hey @koberoels

I got this error too and found that if your geometry is packed in the scene alembics don't like it. Put an unpack sop before your ROP Alembic and there won't be errors. It will also export much faster! While you're there, put down an attribute delete sop too and * the attribute fields to delete all extra attributes for a cleaner export.

Fracture Threshold on FEM sims Jan. 23, 2019, 1:58 p.m.

Hi mountaingoat, fracture threshold worked for me. I was using values around 100. I set up my simulation using the “Fractured Solid Object” shelf tool. Maybe you're missing something if you didn't use the shelf tool?

Using Vellum with "thick" geometry Nov. 10, 2018, 1:08 a.m.

Hello, does anyone know if using Vellum with geometry that has thickness (extruded) is not a good fit with the solver? Should I be sticking to flat planes and extruding after simulating to have thickness in the end?
Thanks for taking a look at my question!
