Hi guys,

I'm wondering if there is a Skype group where Houdini ( Apprentice ) people can meet and exchange tips?

If not, should there be one?

Great!

I'll try that as soon as possible. Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Houdini and, as everyone, I'm messing around with some very basic RBD. I was trying to make a little animation of a ball smashing into the floor and breaking some pieces out of it ( the floor, not the ball ).

However, If I make the floor a static object, I can't make it breakable. On the other hand, when I specify that the floor is a rigid body it keeps falling because of the gravity node. I remember that you can turn that off somewhere but I had no luck finding it.

What's the right approach here?

Thanks!
