Nice idea Rob. Like it.

Think i will have one grownup sphere start it all, give birth to smaller ones that over time grows and starts to give birth and so on and so on. More life like.

Back to reading again, i guess

Best regards,
Bo

Yes circusmonkey i agree, it is actually a fun little challenge and so after much reading im getting closer

1) I created a sphere object and a simple particle
2) then i used RBD Point Object to copy the sphere object onto the particles.
3) after this i went inside the particle and put a kill with a $LIFE==0 in the rule.
4) In the RBD Point Object -> Creation Frame i put $F. Also under Collisions i unchecked “Polygon as convex hulls”

After that it was just to play around with settings until it began to work.
Still reading, playing and adjusting.

Hi

Thanks both of you for the provided ideas. They gave me a few new ideas.
For future reference I will remember to post a file with my questions.

Looking at the provided file, that is a very useful way of solving the problem.

Generating points and using the rbd point object works fine, but i was more looking for a way of generating particles from a popnet, and then copying geometry on to those points and then applying rbd to those objects.

I will continue my sidefx documentation reading and see if i cant figure this one out.

best regards
