    Thanks, I never really knew how to setup the i@active attribute. Also the tip on adding velocity when activating them great. This is a nice alternative to using constraints, especially if you know you are going to have to break them anyway.

    Is there a way to do this for multiple DOP objects?

    Great tut!

    • varomix 7 years, 6 months ago  | 

      Yeah for sure, you could even make the attribute stuff in SOP before you pass it to DOPs

        Do you maybe have a little example file of that? I'm kinda struggling with adding the active attr. to multiple objects. Dop doesn't really seem to get it. Objects stay freezed.

          I haven't done it with multiple objects, but the learning begins when you struggle, if you have a file a could take a look
          go to http://mixtrn.com/community/ and make a post there so we can help you

          thanks

          I have the same issue. creating the group at obj level (animated) doesn't work because the change in the group isn't imported in the DOP net.
          And the SOP solver only shows the first object imported in the DOP net.

          • varomix 6 years, 5 months ago  | 

            That's why I'm doing it in the sop solver that gets evaluated at the same time as the other sim elements
