Hi, I'm trying to render out some simple points (rendered as spheres) with Arnold in Solaris. Looking at the Arnold documentation, this should be a simple one-step solution but so far I had no success. There's only a single checkbox under the Geometry SOP and no other options than that. I'm able to get the camera blur however. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi guys,

I wanted to do some soft body ripping effect and FEM seemed to be the best tool for the job. I'm having trouble holding the fractured pieces together until impact however, and it immediately breaks apart when gravity is active. Do I need a constraint to hold the pieces together like as one would with a typical RBD/Bullet set up and break them in a SOP solver?

I figured that the fracturethreshold attribute is the clue, but I tested with values as high as 20000000 and as low as 0.00000001 with no visual changes.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Wonny! First off, you may want to check out our system requirements page: http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=415&Itemid=269 [sidefx.com]
(just to see if your graphics card and driver are up to snuff)

If you find that your graphics card and drivers are ok, you may want to log a bug.

Hi! I updated my drivers and it's still giving me the same bug. I'll go ahead with the bug report, thank you!
